It may be warm where you are today.  Maybe you’re all toasty and sitting out on your back deck to soak up some sunshine.

But not here.

So, don’t make us all jealous with your stories of tropical heaven.

We’re having a snow day. That means taking it slow, enjoying relax time.

It also means huge piles of dripping wet outerwear piled on my laundry room floor and frequent requests from my children that we make snow cream.

While I go play winter mom for the day, I hope you’ll enjoy these 10 Bible verses about snow in the Bible and the reminder that God uses this world of ours, this daily life, this freshly fallen snow to reveal Himself to us.  We look out the window at the sun making the snow glisten and remember this:

God forgives His people, shows mercy, washes that sin right out of a repentant heart.

God washes the world with His Word and refreshes the weary.

The Son of God will gleam so bright when we see Him, that whitest of whites and we’ll fall down in awe of His glory.

• Psalm 51:7 NASB
  Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
  Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
• Psalm 147:16-18 NASB
  He gives snow like wool;
  He scatters the frost like ashes.
  He casts forth His ice as fragments;
  Who can stand before His cold?
  He sends forth His word and melts them;
  He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
• Psalm 148:7-8 NASB
  Praise the Lord from the earth,
  Sea monsters and all deeps;
  Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
  Stormy wind, fulfilling His word
• Proverbs 25:13 NASB
  Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
  Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
  For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
• Proverbs 31:21 NASB
  She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
  For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
• Isaiah 1:18 NASB
  “Come now, and let us reason together,”
  Says the Lord,
  “Though your sins are as scarlet,
  They will be as white as snow;
  Though they are red like crimson,
  They will be like wool.
• Isaiah 55:10-11 NASB
  For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
  And do not return there without watering the earth
  And making it bear and sprout,
  And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
   So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
  It will not return to Me empty,
  Without accomplishing what I desire,
  And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
• Lamentations 4:7 NASB
  Her consecrated ones were purer than snow,
  They were whiter than milk;
  They were more ruddy inbody than corals,
  Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.
• Daniel 7:9 NASB
  “I kept looking
  Until thrones were set up,
  And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
  His vesture was like white snow
  And the hair of His head like pure wool.
  His throne was ablaze with flames,
  Its wheels were a burning fire.
• Revelation 1:14 NASB
  His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.
