Autumn brings a cascade of color. The leaves turn many shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. We have one tree in our area that I call the rainbow tree. It displays various colors in layers from top to bottom.
It’s all very beautiful, especially if you can catch a view of the colors also reflecting off a river or lake. Unfortunately the beauty doesn’t last long enough. Soon the leaves die and fall to the ground. The tree become barren and sad looking.
I don’t want to be like the falling leaves. I want to walk uprightly and straight along the path God has designed for me. Jude verses 24 and 25 say, ” Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” I am trusting God to keep me from falling and bring me with him into his glory.
