Washed by the blood, BUT Covered by His mercy.

"Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" is the opening song from the musical Oklahoma!, which premiered on Broadway in 1943. It was written by composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. The leading male character in Oklahoma!, Curly McLain, sings the song at the beginning of the first scene of the musical. The refrain runs: "Oh, what a beautiful mornin'! / Oh, what a beautiful day! / I've got a beautiful feelin' / Ev'rythin's goin' my way." Curly's "brimming optimism is perfectly captured by Rodgers' ebullient music and Hammerstein's buoyant pastoral lyrics."

Due to a winter storm, all parts of all 50 states received sleet or snow cover on Wednesday, resulting in a weather phenomenon that hasn't happened since 2010, reports The Weather Channel.

With the Blood Moon last night and all the prophecies I heard, "I have covered you with my Mercy". Now, I know not too many of you may feel that it is merciful to wake up to all of this snow, but look. Everything is white. Can you see the Father telling us I will offer you mercy? I will make your sins white as snow. Jesus wants to cleanse us America, of all of our sins. He has given us mercy. He has given us a time to repent. If we ask for forgiveness He is faithful to forgive us.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to
​cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Isaiah 1:18 ""Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

ACTION STEP: This is the year of Harvest readers. It has been 9 years since this snow completely covering all 50 states. Nine is the number of harvest. As you look out at the snow this morning, be reminded of Romans 10:9-10 that says, "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart, that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." Today could be your day, or the day of someone you love. 

Reminder today is Martin Luther King Day. Please take a minute to honor him and all he did and stood for.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (officially Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.,[1] and sometimes referred to as MLK Day) is an American federal holidaymarking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King's birthday, January 15. The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The earliest Monday for this holiday is January 15 and the latest is January 21.
King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed three years later. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.
