I had a thought this morning that crossed my mind and it went a little something like this...
The other day I saw that the National weather service predicted that we were going to get 16 inches of snow! Then yesterday, I saw that that prediction had changed to 6-8 inches, and then this morning I heard 3-6 inches, and I thought to myself, "Do they really know what they are talking about?" "I mean, how can we rely on them when they keep changing their minds and throwing different numbers out there every single day?'' and then I had another thought that came to mind, and that was, "God never changes." So, that means that if He says something, then we know that it is the truth." But is God predictable? Can we predict what He is going to do day to day, just like we try to do with the weather? Do we always know exactly what He is going to do next? No, we do not, but we do know that He is faithful!
So, with that being said family let's use these thoughts today as a reminder of His faithfulness, even in the midst of a snowstorm that may or may not be coming, and even when our hopes have been dashed for 80 degrees and sunny this week! Let's also use these thoughts today to remember that God's plan is not our plan, and even though we would like to tell Him what to do and how to do it, the most important thing to remember is to trust Him! Trust in His goodness, trust in His promises, and trust in His word that "In all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28 NIV).
