The Beauty of Fall
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
TODAY, THE SECOND Sunday of Advent, reflect on a favorite Christmas song, listen to it, sing it to yourself, or simply go to a favorite memory where the song first found its way to your heart. Thank God for working in your life—for preparing moments and situations that have led you to this exact moment. Rejoice! You are an instrument of His grace.
Dear Lord, thank You for the joy in my heart and the song in my soul.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.—Song of Solomon 2:11–12 (ESV)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.—2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
