My mind tends to wander sometimes and it and it can be found out back at the pond. . .funny what God will bring to that wondering mind of mine. . .
We had a snow fall this morning and it was so beautiful. I’m not a
cold weather lover but I do admire the beauty of the snow. I’ve heard every snow flake has its own
pattern…just like people. That’s just
like God to be so creative. Only one verse came to my mind about snow, which
you will read at the end of this, but I did think of the white horses at the
end of the bible
In
Revelation 6:2, John writes,
“I
heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ I
looked, and there before me was a white horse.
Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a
conqueror bent on conquest.
In
Revelation 19:11 John describes this,
“I
saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is
called Faithful and True…then down to verse 14,
“The
armies of heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine
linen, white and clean.
It
sounds like a prince charging in on his white horse to save the damsel. Actually, the rider called Faithful and True
had written on his robe and on his thigh the name King of Kings and Lord of
Lords. Even better!
His
entrance here signals the end of the false powers. A great battle will ensue and we know the
ending. He will conquer, will take his
bride and ascend to the New Earth.
Revelations
describes a perfect city with no evil. Paradise is re-created in the New Jerusalem. I bet there will be ponds there, but I’m not
sure about the snow.
Snow
White had her prince. But again, that
was just a fairy tale. She was not a
real woman, but if she was, I think she would be in Heaven. Any woman who could live with, work with, and
clean up after seven men, and with names like Grumpy, and Dopey, and still
whistle, has to be an angel. OK, all kidding aside, the King of Kings and Lord
of Lords charging in on his white horse and taking his bride, the church, to a
paradise like place is no fairy tale.
It’s the real deal, a true story, THE STORY.
The
bible says our sins are as scarlet but Jesus makes them white as snow. I smile as I look out at the clean, pure
flakes draping the ground, thankful that I took that step of faith and knowing how He sees me, white
as the pure driven snow. I don't have to be Snow White or any other princess, I'm a daughter of the King! Because of this
I will be in paradise with Him someday.
And I do believe, when there, I will never be cold again, WOO-HOO!
For
us believers, I guess you could say,
“And
they lived happily ever after.

I love your analogy, Kristin. The King of Kings riding forth on His white horse to rescue His bride. I'm standing on the roadside, eagerly waiting.
I would love to play in the snow without freezing. Wo hoo:)
