This week’s snowfall has made it a difficult one for construction. As you can see from the picture the equipment hasn’t moved since the big snowfall earlier this week. My prayer is that the weather will break so that more site work can continue later this week.
At the same time, it is January! Also, I am reminded of the comments by Job’s friend Elihu.* Elihu reminded Job, “God’s voice is glorious in the thunder. We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power. ‘He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. Then everyone stops working so they can watch his power.’” Job 37:5-7 NLT
So while the construction crew has stopped working, let’s be amazed by the power of God and the beauty of His creation!
* One of the challenges that I have as I read the book of Job is … Should we ever quote Job’s friends as a positive example? Since later in the book, the LORD rebuked them for speaking falsehood to Job (see Job 42:7-10) and yet the LORD doesn’t specifically rebuke Elihu.
