Whether you are a principal, teacher, or student, there are two words that bring a smile to your face, "Snow Day." Sure eventually it dawns on you that when May arrives with its 80 degree days, sunshine, and spring flowers you will be at school when you could be enjoying your summer, but those winter snow days are still like the sprinkles on cupcake- a little extra sweet, that while not necessary, is still appreciated.
Stay inside, leave the pj's on, watch Netflix, and take the day off.
Unfortunately there are no snow days for Christians. Peter tells us to "always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." (1 Peter 3:15 ESV) "Always" Not just when you are feeling like it. Not just when things are going good, but every minute of every day.
Later in the same book, Peter warns believers that "the devil, prowls around
like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour." We are to "Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and
cautious at all times." (1 Peter 5:8 AMP)
Christ promised us salvation, not easy street. There are no snow days for the saved.
