Yes, the ice that has surrounded almost everything can be a nuisance. But look how the sun is just peaking over the house in the background. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the ice laden trees in the background are glistening. A rare treat for these eyes. Soon the sun will be at a point in the sky that will make the branches in the foreground glisten like huge polished diamonds.
Ice. It's water that has been frozen. Sometimes I feel stiff and unable to move. I know I have been created to sway in the wind, and bend in all different directions, but when I am encased in ice, I barely breathe for fear of breaking.
But then the sun comes out.
The SON.
The sun shines on this ice encased me and causes me to glisten. There is a beauty in this frozen state that I would not have experienced if it were always warm and cozy in my world.
I went for a walk out in this glistening frozen wonderland because I know it won't last long. The sun, as it has the power to make this icy world sparkle, it also has the power to melt away the ice, so I wanted to take lots of pictures, both in my mind and with my camera.
The SON has the power to make me glisten under the weight of frozen water and in due time, has the power to melt away all the cold hard ice so that I can know true freedom.
The LORD, maker of heaven and earth, is the God who Glistens.
