Here is an example of how the aspect of the land dictates how fast the snow melts. This first photo is showing a north aspect. (aspect is which way the ground is facing)
Here is the second photo where the cliff causes the land to turn from a north aspect to a west aspect.
Now I have moved around the cliff and am shooting east. Meaning the land is facing west. Most of the snow has melted off the ground.
In this photo the ground is in a completely west aspect and all the snow is gone.
This is an interesting photo showing how the snow on the right is on ground of a Northwesterly aspect. And the lack of snow on the southwesterly has no snow.
I like to think of the aspect of ground as a type of our soul. There are places in the Bible that use ground to represent our soul. In Matthew 13 the parable of the sower and the seed refers to peoples souls as being in different stages of readiness for the word of God. And in Hosea 10:12 it talks about plowing the ground as plowing our heart.
Having a heart towards receiving the word of God will allow us to understand it. If we are against God's words then we will not accept what God says to us.
We can change from a hard heart to a yielded heart through repentance. Asking forgiveness for taking our life in our own hands and not letting God direct us.
Let us not have a hard heart against God and not warm to His leading. Let us receive His words with joy and grow spiritually.
