"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." ~ James 1:17
"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name." ~ Psalm 33:20 & 21
WILL THE GROUNDHOG SEE HIS SHADOW?
Today as I look out at the overcast sky, I cannot help wondering about the funny notion of "Groundhog Day" — the day when a large member of the squirrel family is held up, in grand pomp and ceremony, to determine if he can see his shadow. If he sees his shadow, then supposedly, one can expect 6 more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, then spring is on its way. It's a crazy idea when you think about it! To what measures we will strive to try to find our way to warmer, sunnier weather! I am so glad that God is more reliable than a groundhog!! It is in Him that our hope needs to be anchored. Whether more winter or an early spring or any other curveball in life is in our future, it is God who will see us through it all. He does not rely on shadows or shifting light. He sees all and knows all. He is constant. He is steadfast. His character never changes. He will never fail us. THAT is something worth hoping in and holding on to!
In Jesus's service,
