It’s snowing in the Netherlands! It’s been a while since we’ve been seen multiple days and layers of snow on the streets of The Hague – the beautiful city of Maasbach Radio. Looking outside the window of the radio studio and seeing streets of white, reminded me of how amazing our God is. I love singing the old Dutch hymn that says:
Whiter than the snow
Whiter than the snow
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb
And I shall be whiter than snow
Snow is actually mentioned multiple times in the Bible. Let’s look at five Biblical principles we can learn from… snow!
Purity & Cleansing
Snow represents spiritual purity and cleansing from sin. Just as snow is white and spotless, God promises to cleanse us completely when we repent.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
— Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)
God’s Power & Sovereignty
Snow reminds us that creation obeys God’s command. He controls the natural world, demonstrating His absolute authority.
“For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth.’”
— Job 37:6 (NKJV)
Provision & Faithfulness
Snow is part of God’s provision for the earth—watering the ground so it can later bring forth fruit. Likewise, God’s Word always accomplishes His purpose.
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven… So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth.”
— Isaiah 55:10–11 (NKJV)
Humility Before God
Snow can halt human activity and remind us how small we are compared to God’s wisdom and design. It calls us to humility and reverence.
“Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail?”
— Job 38:22 (NKJV)
Rest & Renewal
Snow often brings stillness and quiet, reflecting God’s invitation to rest in Him and trust His work, even when things seem paused.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
I am in awe of our amazing God Who demonstrates His character in nature. Come join me on Miracle Monday on Maasbach Radio and let’s talk about it a little more!
