What a blessing! A rainy Sunday that was as dark as night, brought much needed moisture to the ground. Followed by a Monday morning red sun that filled the sky.
"The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises," (Ecclesiastes 1:5 NIV).
The month is drawing to an end and so is the season of summer as it passed. The rain and cooler temperatures welcome in the new fall days with changing colors and falling leaves. The breeze moves the tall grasses in the wind creating soothing sights, yet cool.
God's touch makes all things change with beauty. Only His hands can turn the seasons and bring changes. It is the time for harvest. Gardens explode with ripe squash, round potatoes, pumpkins and gourds. The grapes and apples are ripe and ready for picking. Fields are full of corn and soybeans waiting for their turn to be harvested. Hearts are broken as Iowa farmers mourn the ruined crops in fields damaged by the derecho in August.
"May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works--he who looks at the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke," (Psalm 104:31-32 NIV).
Let us rise up today with gladness and celebrate the coming harvest in fields and in churches. Let us give thanks for our God is mighty! Whatever you need today, ask of God and listen for His answer. Thank you, God for hearing our prayers. Amen.
