I am so grateful for the snow which reminds us that the ugliness of my sins covered with the righteousness of Christ cleanses and heals and even glows. The glare of the snow and the beauty of the freshly fallen snow is the beauty of my sins having been washed away, by His blood and the precious healing for my soul.
What shall I render, stated David, unto God for all of his mercies. That was penned before the precious blood of Jesus was spent for the salvation of our souls. I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. The picture of our whole family enjoying a meal and one little child reaching for the cup that means that he belongs with us and calling upon his father as Daddy. That is salvation. We have the responsibility to call upon the name of the Lord and the healing which comes from that blessing and then raising the standard for the generation following so that they don't have to reap the judgements for the wrong choices, because this may cost us their souls. When a child grows up and sees the negative consequences of sins and we preach Christ to them who can clean up a culture, they reason away from God and it is really judgement for our sins that they are enduring. If there is a God, why didn't my mommy and daddy...Help us Lord to foster and shepherd their faith!
