"Fall" musings

While the earth remaineth,
seedtime and harvest, 
and cold and heat,
and summer and winter,
and day and night
shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22

Whenever the seasons change, I am reminded of this promise from God's Word.  Right now there is some fall color starting to show, mostly reds and yellows.   While hiking today I saw a tree with beautiful red leaves, already totally turned.  And the show will only get better as more and more leaves turn. 

What a wonderful time to meditate on our sovereign, awesome Creator--how He made the world, the wide variety of things in it, people, and how He sustains all of it.  Psalm 104 parallels the days of creation in Genesis 1 and 2, and would make a great companion read for this verse.
