No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. (English proverb)

The legendary Punxsutawney Phil is said to predict the weather for the remainder of winter. If today is sunny and Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of cold weather. If there’s no shadow, spring has arrived. In reality, of course, winter is just another step in the inevitable weather cycle God set in motion in the beginning. And it’s all under the control of a sovereign God. Whatever the weather, we worship its creator.

You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set. (Psalm 104:19)
