Winter Snow

Could've come like a mighty storm
With all the strength of a hurricane
You could've come like a forest fire
With the power of heaven in Your flame

But You came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

You could've swept in like a tidal wave
Or an ocean to ravish our hearts
You could have come through like a roaring flood
To wipe away the things we've scarred

But You came like a winter snow
(Yes, You did)
You were quiet
You were soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

Oh, no, Your voice wasn't in a bush burning
No, Your voice wasn't in a rushing wind
It was still
It was small
It was hidden

You came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

Falling
(Oh, yeah)
To the earth below
You came falling
From the sky in the night
To the earth below

--Audrey Assad



It is the first day of spring and it is snowing.
While most of the people experiencing this are very upset, I find it awe inspiring. I always love snow and I find it to be one of those ordinary miracles.
Today is also Les Mis call backs. As soon as I heard about the call back list and saw the snow outside, it reminded me of the song above. God can do SO MANY THINGS in HUGE WAYS. but usually, the biggest things He does are in very small, quiet, slow ways. Like snow.

The snow this morning was a wonderful reminder of God's love, power, knowledge, and might. I give my everything to Him.
