The warm light of a Lake Superior sunrise shines through the ice-covered rocks of the North Shore. The ice field extends 1/2 mile out into Lake Superior and is a gallery for reflecting and refracting light throughout the day. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. Isaiah 9:2 Winter is a great time to relax and reflect on where we are and where we are going!
A single snowflake under a frozen microscope reveals the magnificence of God's creation. Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. We see beauty everywhere we look in God's creation. But before the microscope, only God alone could see this beauty in the snow. When we learn to appreciate the elegance in nature, it will help us enjoy God more each day.
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.
