As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest, cold and heat,
summer and winter, day and night,
shall not cease.
--Genesis 8:22
(New Revised Standard Version)
Sometimes, Father, frigid winter blankets my spirit. Gray days become a harsh and heavy burden. And then I remember how You promised Noah winter and summer, seedtime and harvest, day and night, cold and heat as long as the earth shall live. Help me to understand; the barren and difficult times are not a curse, but part of a blessing -- Your wonderful, ever changing gift: life.
