Snowflakes seems like a refreshing thought during a week like
this, but if they were exposed to these temperatures they would dissolve
quickly and even evaporate. The creation
and preservation of snowflakes is dependent on cold temperatures.
Our feelings about many things are similarly
dependent upon various circumstances around us and thoughts we choose to dwell
on. It’s why feelings make a very
inconsistent basis for determining actions, yet many people let feelings guide
their lives.
By contrast, Scripture
tells us to keep our minds on the Lord and to guard our thoughts. That secures good thinking, proper actions,
and thus even improves the feelings we experience. (Philippians 4:4-9, Proverbs 4:23, Hebrews
12:1-3, Colossians 3:1-4, and so many others!)
