The Disney hit film ‘Frozen’ features the song ‘Do you want to build a snowman?’ Mark looked at the subject of snowmen last night:
We saw the tallest snowman (122ft 1 inch):
… and the smallest (created in a laboratory):
We looked at happy snowmen:
… and ones that were not so happy!
Mark reminded us that there are certain similarities between us and snowmen. We are both unique. Each snowflake is different, so each snowman is different and that is the same with all people. No two people are totally alike, not even identical twins!
All snowmen are built and designed by someone. We too are designed by God the Creator. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps 139:14). Nonetheless, we wouldn’t expect to see a red snowman! Is 1:18 reminds us that our sins are red like scarlet, but God can make us as white as snow. As we ask for forgiveness, He is able to wash us and make us clean (Ps 51:1-7) so that our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. (Ps 103:12) As we consider the crisp whiteness of snow or the beautiful whiteness of clean laundry, let’s remember that God can make us pure and clean and give us a fresh start with Him.
