Stopping by the Church - on a Snowy Morning

Inspite of snow on the ground - many met today at CBC to study the scriptures and worship the Lord. And, O, what a special time it was.

The time of music blessed my heart and took us to the cross, where we should be always. (Thank you Bro. Sam, Praise Team and Praise Band and also Shannon Vines).

Seeing the family of the Lord come around Michelle Clarke, Hilda LeSeuer and Mary Bishop to pray for a work of the Lord in their bodies was a close loving time when the family functioned as it should.

To see some of our young men and youth and children throw snowballs, like a family playing, was refreshing also.

The snow was a reminder of much that we see in the Word:

Job 37:6 "For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the
earth, likewise to the downpour, his mighty
downpour."


Psalms 51:7 "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."


Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD:though your sins are like scarlet,they shall be as white as snow;though they are red like crimson,they shall become like wool."

Daniel 7:9 [ The Ancient of Days Reigns ] "As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire."

Matthew 28:3 "His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow."

Revelation 1:13-15 "and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters."


These are only a few.

Did you know snow was in the scriptures this much?

Praise the Lord for the pictures he gives us of Himself and His work in our world around us daily.

Gripped by Grace,
Hal

I so wish we could have been in the service today, it sounds like it was a wonderful one filled with the presence of God... we were in the presence of some rather active 4 and 5 year olds!

Blessings!
