15_35_54.png.af0e9f203b6f090c9266f370cd754161.pngSnow doesn’t wait politely. It sweeps in overnight, stacking white barricades across the driveway, pressing silence onto the streets. And just when you’re tempted to sigh at the inconvenience, Jehovah leans down and asks a question that stirs awe: “Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow?” (Job 38:22).

 

Picture it. Not shovels, not plows, not winter jackets. 15_36_12.png.d815297461f44eb712f044d600686942.pngPicture vaults. Endless vaults. Each shelf lined not with sacks of grain or jars of oil, but with countless flakes. Fragile, crystalline slips, each one stitched differently. You could inventory them until your hands tremble and your hair grays, and still never reach the end. Scientists tried. Forty winters bent over a microscope, chasing flakes like stars fallen onto glass. Not once did they catch perfect twins. Can you feel it? Heaven’s reminder that variety belongs to Him.

 

And even now, with satellites circling above and instruments piercing clouds, the journals still admit — the spark of freezing remains a mystery. How does a droplet hanging at minus forty suddenly harden into ice? That secret stays in Jehovah’s keeping. He tucks it away like treasure, reminding us: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways.” (Isaiah 55:9).

 

So the next time the storm slows your steps, the next time pressures weigh on your chest like heavy drifts, pause. Catch one flake. Just one. Hold it before it vanishes. Ask yourself: If my Father crafts galaxies of variety in something so fleeting, what care must he weave into me? If he has storehouses for snow, what storehouse of mercy waits for my soul?

 

He is not wasteful. He is not absent. He is here. Even in the snow.
