Covered In Snow...

Isaiah 61:10 ESV
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Devotional:
Snowfall in Douglasville GA, by Jasmine Scott
Recently we had a beautiful snowfall in Atlanta.  Several of us stood at the door watching huge snowflakes fall to the ground.  The next morning, we have between one to two inches of snow on the ground.  It was absolutely beautiful.  Thoughts of growing up playing in snow came to mind.  I love how things seem to grow quiet and still during a heavy snowfall.  A hush seems to fall with the snow.  I love the way everything turns white and the air is crisp.
As the snow falls and covers everything in a blanket of white I am reminded of Christ.  How we are clothed in His righteousness.  We are full of sin, dirty.  Christ was born so that He could live to become the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation.  Romans 5:21 ESV, “so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The next time you watch the snow fall and see the land transform around you think about Christ.  He has covered you in His righteousness and has cleansed you so that you may have eternal life in heaven.  Let the snow remind you of Christ’s righteousness that covers you…
