Coming Glory

Today was a warm one. The sunny days which had been floating tauntingly before my nose were snatched away and replaced with a multitude of fat snowflakes which rode into the library on my sweater.  On days like this, it is easy to imagine that nature could turn on a dime, click its heels and start back towards christmas. 

Ignoring my senses, I know that summer is coming. The laws of nature have shown themselves time and again to be unfazed by appearances. The earth is on its way around the sun and I rest assured that sweater days are coming to a halt. The fluctuations of temperature have nothing to do with the impending glory.

I too will rise from the iced frost of winter's death. The fact that I stumble sometimes has nothing to do with the glory that will be made manifest in me. The Word of God tells me that a brighter day is coming.

"Being confident of this very thing. that He which has begun a good work in you will preform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" - Philippians 1:6

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see him as he is." - I John 3:2
