ISAIAH 61:1-4

ISAIAH 61:1-4


The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and has anointed me to
Preach the good news to the poor. .
Bind up the brokenhearted,
Proclaim freedom for the captives,
Proclaim release from darkness for the prisoners,
Comfort all who mourn
Provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them
BEAUTY FOR ASHES
The oil of gladness for mourning
And a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness

God's Perfection

I went out to clean off my car this morning and by the time I had finished, the windows I'd cleared first were snow-covered again! That stuff is coming down fast--and is it cold. I keep thinking that it usually doesn't snow with the temp below 15-20, but today is sure the exception. Early this morning the snow was fast and furious when my thermometer said 1.9 degrees. (For international readers that's -17 degrees Celcius ) And that was after sunup! Brrrr!

It is beautiful, though. Each frosty flake can be seen individually, the uniqueness obvious. A billion billion little chips of water in a billion billion different patterns. I can't help but think about the amazing complexity of God's world. Then I come along and mess it all up with my rear window defroster, windshield wipers and long handled snow brush! Sort of a picture of the world: man messing with God's perfection.
