As a child, snow meant adventures: building a snowman, making snow angels, or eating snow. One year a friend and I climbed the fence of a school across the street where we lived. Then, we took trash bags and sled down the big hill behind the school. We had much fun rolling around in that beautiful, white snow. Spiritually, white sym- bolizes purity and innocence. We are called to be pure and strive for holiness. 2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV) says, "Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contami- nates body and spirit, perfect- ing holiness out of reverence for God." Strengthen Yourself Keeping ourselves pure is not the easiest thing to do. We live in a world where we are bombarded with immorality and anti-biblical principles. Sinful pleasures are at our fingertips daily, tempting us to do what feels good instead of what is righteous. The internet and social media have given us, especially our children, access to filth within seconds. However, The Blanket of Snow DANYALE PATTERSON God is never surprised or unpre- pared for demoniac activity and sinful people. He gave us tools to help us live victoriously such as prayer and his holy word - the BIBLE. I have found over the years that the more I meditate on scripture, the stronger I am to resist temptations. Psalm 119:9 (AMP) says, "How can a young man keep his way pure? By keep- ing watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts]." If you desire to keep your life pure, you have to be intentional. Find out what God says, meditate on it, and ask him to help you obey it. When you mess up, ask forgiveness. PRAY THIS PRAYER: Father, you, alone, are righ- teous and perfect in all of your ways. I exalt your holy name. Your word says that you chas- ten those you love. Thank you for demonstrating your love for me by correcting me. You are never harsh with me like humans are, but firm and loving. Lord, I ask you to examine my heart and cleanse me from any impurity that may hinder my walk with you. In Jesus' name. Amen." Connecting to God Are you missing love, joy, or peace in your life? It's not a feel- ing; it's a person. Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, wants to fill the void in your life with himself - NOW and FOREVER! Hebrews 3:14 (CEV) says, …"If you hear his voice today, don't be stubborn like those who rebelled." Right now, ask forgiveness for all your sins. Then, ask Jesus to come into your heart to be your Savior and Lord. Ask God to fill you with his Holy Spirit and to lead you to a church where you can grow and serve. Start reading your bible every day. I'll be praying for yous. Danyale Patterson would love to connect with you!
