I was excited when I got up this morning. For the first time in a while the weather forecast called for the temperature to be in the 30s. I didn’t have to put on my overcoat and ski mask for my morning walk. Then I went outside and was a bit disappointed.
The temperature was indeed in the 30s, but there was a stiff cold wind out of the west. So the wind chill was in the low 20s. Still that was about 20 degrees higher than it has been. Therefore I was grateful and enjoyed my walk.
It’s funny how our attitude about something can change with the season. In the summer, a cool breeze is welcome. In the winter, we don’t enjoy a cold wind.
Psalm 135:7-8 says, “Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. ” So it is God who brings the cold wind, no matter the season. He does what pleases Himself. Since He is always good, I can trust that He will do good for me, even though the winds come.
