Snowed In, Not Spiritually Out

We didn’t have church today because of the snow, and honestly, I get it—safety first. But I also know how easy it is for a day like this to turn into a spiritual “off day.” No service, no routine, no schedule… and before you know it, the day is gone and God got pushed to the side.

Days like this remind me of something real: the devil loves distractions. He loves anything that knocks us off our focus—stress, boredom, comfort, laziness, scrolling, excuses, even “reasonable” things like the weather. Because if he can get us to drift, he can get us to cool off. Not always with some big obvious temptation—sometimes just with a slow fade.

So even though we’re not in the church building today, we can still have church in our hearts. We can still take time to pray. We can still open the Bible. We can still worship right where we’re at—living room, kitchen table, or sitting by a window watching the snow fall.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be intentional.

Today I’m choosing to take a few minutes and refocus. Because weather can cancel a service, but it can’t cancel my relationship with God. And the truth is, the moments we’re “off schedule” might be the moments we need God the most.

Stay warm, stay safe, and stay connected to Him.
