Keeper of the Storeroom of Snow
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9 NLT
I’m writing this after a winter storm rolled through much of our country, leaving behind ice, snow, and even death. Businesses closed, and schools were canceled.
Storms like this remind us that we can make all the plans we want, but we are not really in control. In an interesting verse where God is questioning Job, God said to him, “Have you entered the place where the snow is stored? Or have you seen the storehouses of hail” (Job 38:22). The obvious answer is “no.”
God is sovereign and in complete control. Sometimes, He chooses to bring our world to a screeching halt. That is His prerogative, and His plan is always perfect!
In all honesty, we need the reminder that He is God and we are not. This truth is humbling and helpful. It should cause us to humble ourselves in worship, and it should help us to depend on Him more.
Father, Thank You that You are in complete control of our world, and of our lives. We are not being tossed around by the whims of nature, but we are being guided by Your good and loving hand. It’s in You that we rest, Amen.
