This morning I saw the dreaded "S" word in today weather's forecast (at least for many of us!). Yep. That's right. You probably heard it too (if you live in the Lancaster area). Snow may be falling before the day is over. Now, it won't lay on the ground - but the fact that we might see snow flakes floating down from above is just a foretaste of what most likely lies ahead of us. And if meteorologist Joe Bastardi of Accu Weather is right, we are facing a winter with below normal temps and above normal precipitation. To me, that sounds like the formula for a lot of the white stuff! Hmm. I'll have to make sure my snow blower is in working condition soon!Now we all know with weather forecasts, there are many variables that go into the making of a forecast. Therefore, forecasts can be way off the mark. And usually the longer range the forecast the higher probability that the forecast will be inaccurate. I'm hoping that is the case with the forecast for the upcoming winter!
However, when God makes a forecast, it does not matter how "long range" it might be! His forecasts for the future are ALWAYS 100% on the mark! How so? Because as the book of Daniel (and other books of the Bible) demonstrates, our God is sovereign over the affairs of men and the ebb and flow of human history! So when he forecasts, for example, the return of His Son to this earth - you can count on it occurring. He just hasn't revealed to us the date. So if we are going to get our snow blowers set for action based on an uncertain long range weather forecast, then how much more do we need to be sure we are ready for the return of Jesus Christ? If you have any questions about your readiness to meet him - please don't hesitate to email me at jsmith@gracewv.org. I would be glad to "chat" with you!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
