"All the leaves are gone and the sky is grey" so sang the Mamas & The Papas. The leaves of this tree were brilliant but only for a short period of time.
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." Isaiah 40:8 English Standard Version
Our lives are filled with things that are transient. Things come and go as quickly as the Fall leaves. Life itself is only a breath.
One day our children are born the next they're off to college.
One day we start our dream job the next we're retired.
One day we buy our first home the next we're selling it and moving into a retirement home.
As life changes from day to day and season to season, the "word of our God stands forever." For that reason many of our churches celebrate a cycle of seasons throughout the year. We move from Christmas to Easter and back to Christmas again. We hear the story because the story never changes.
God's story that never changes includes you. It was for you that Jesus was born. It was for you that Jesus lives. All the leaves may disappear, but God's word never will.
