Frost is given

We've all experienced it. The moment of waking up on a crisp and cold winter morning only to find that something fantastic happened during our slumber. Frost. Thick, beautiful, white frost on everything! The tree branches that have been bare since October are now being clung to while light poles and stop signs adorn the white accessory with a sense of dignification.

When I awake on frost covered winter mornings, I am reminded of how the frost got there. The Bible says in Job 37:10, "By the breath of God, frost is given."

While we slumber and while we sleep, God comes down and breathes a fresh blanket of frost to cover His creation. For me, it is just another breath-taking way that God shows Himself to me. I'm thankful for the subtle, daily reminders that He is there...always surrounding and always in control.
