Today, people will gather around the hole of Punxsutawney Phil, our
National Groundhog, waiting for his reaction to the elements around him.
Will he see his shadow and hide, or stay and enjoy the moment? Many times, when shadows find their way into our day, it is tempting
to retreat to the den of familiarity and wait for our situation to change. I
pray we remember it is God who set the sun in the sky and He who places the
clouds around it. To respond in faith to whatever greets us in our day, be it
sunshine or shadows, will bring Glory to God's name and peace to our
soul.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12, 13
