Is Anyone Else Cold?

Well, I’ve just about had it! I am cold. Has anyone else noticed it is cold? I do not like the cold. Nothing works well during the cold…least of which is me! Now, for that person who wants to call me and say that God created cold and they love the cold…save your time. Cold is the absence of heat. God created heat…and I like heat. God did not create cold, just like God did not create evil…which is the absence of good. But cold, if I didn’t know better, cold is of satan. If I sound a bit cranky this morning, I apologize…but I do not like cold, and outside it is very cold! The only thing that gets me through these days is one of my favorite verses from Philippians 4:13…let me paraphrase it for you, “I can do everything through him who gives me heat.” Yeah, I know I’ve taken liberty with the text, but we should be turning to Scripture to get us through the trials we face. Cold is insignificant to cancer, heart disease, or an accident, but if Scripture can get me through this cold snap (and I am feeling warmer already), know that the Lord of the universe can use it to lead us through any valley, regardless of how deep it is. He never said we wouldn’t face cold...er, trouble, but he did promise to help us through it.
