Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow ...
Job 37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

I am delighted to know that God is in control!
Is this a view outside your window? I hear WI has gotten a bit or snow...
@quest4god@revelife - Yes! I am also delighted! Knowing that (knowing Him) makes all the difference, doesn't it?
It's a view from one of our now-grown children's bedrooms, which I've recently started using as an area to tuck away in to read, study, pray. We had about a foot of snow total.
@naphtali_deer - Have you thought of framing that picture? It's a classic!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Is this a view from your house? It's lovely!! Love the post as well. I just don't know how those who don't have a relationship with Abba make it.
@quest4god@revelife - Thanks, Norm! I hope you and your family had a blessed celebration.
@stephensmustang - Yes, it's a view from one of our bedrooms.
"I just don't know how those who don't have a relationship with Abba make it." – Me neither!
I hope you & yours had a blessed Christmas!
@naphtali_deer - Thank you! Yes, my celebration was joyous, even though my Dad and Stepmom were sick and didn't want company....I'm glad I called first. My visit in Ohio with my brother and sister was warm and fun, but not nearly so focused on Christ as my own desire would have it. Sometimes, I have to be aware that others don't always have the same feeling about their relationship to/with Christ as I do. I hope that doesn't mean that it's not there....
