Psalms 147:16

Psalms 147:16. He giveth snow like wool: -

People say, nowadays, "It snows." They said among the Hebrews, "HE giveth snow." There seems to be a tendency to get further and further away from God in these very learned days. If this is all that science can do for us, - put God further off, - it shall be our injury rather than our benediction. "He giveth snow like wool." The flakes are like the fleece, and fall softly. Snow clothes the earth with a white, warm garment, as the well-washed sheep are clothed with wool.

Psalms 147:16. He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

There are black frosts and white frosts; and you know how, sometimes, vegetation appears to be burnt up with cold. It is God who does it all: "He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
