A small chickadee sings its familiar song amidst the northern woods. Chickadees are tough little birds that do not migrate. During cold weather, Chickadees need twenty times more food than they do in summer. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 The wonders of God's creation declare the glory of God.
The setting moon slowly descends on the snow-covered shores of Lake Superior. It is a good feeling to see open water after a long winter. Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. Proverbs 25:25 Hope comes in many forms, and a quiet February landscape assures of warming days ahead.
Sunrise breaks over sheet ice on the North Shore. With waves rapidly breaking the surface ice on Lake Superior up into shards, the advance of Spring is a sure thing. And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years." Genesis 1:14 Spring's new life is a good thought and the "New Life" promised in Jesus Christ is indeed the same promise.
