Whiter Than Snow

Where I live now, I do not see much snow. But I love snow, and as I recall memories of its beauty, these thoughts come to mind:

He does great things that we cannot comprehend. For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth.’

Job 37:5b-6

He gives snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes.
He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold?
He sends out his word, and melts them; He makes his wind blow and the waters flow.

Psalm 147:16-18

If God can say to the snow, “Fall to the earth,” and it falls, and, “Melt,” and it melts, can He not say to me, “Be cleansed of sin,” and I am cleansed?

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalm 51:7

I cannot comprehend the power of God—power over sin, death, and all creation.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts, [declares Yahweh].

Isaiah 55:9

To see the gentle snow is to behold the mighty power of Yahweh, the living God! Falling snow is a testimony of our Creator's control over His creation. When He speaks, creation yields.

Praise Yahweh from the earth . . . fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word!

Psalm 148:7-8

Just as snow covers the earth's blemishes, purifying and beautifying it, so the blood of Christ purifies, cleanses, and beautifies our sinful hearts.

Come now, let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Isaiah 1:18
