This is indeed the prettiest autumn day I've seen as late as this November 11. It is gorgeous. It has been a long fall and I've enjoyed it all. Now there may well have been another fall as nice, but I don't remember any other; but then of course my memory isn't as good as it once was.
It was wonderful today to wake up a little earlier than usual and come out of my room before I had my alone time with God... and see this out of our window. I didn't waste any time getting a few pictures before I went back to my bed to read.
Many of my prayers have been answered just this week. Thank you, Father.
I'd like to share with you the encouraging words of a lesson published in UpWords by Max Lucado today.
When the Devil draws near, stand against him. Give him no quarter. Don’t stand for his accusations. When he dredges up your past mistakes, tell him whose you are. He has no recourse to this truth. He knows who you are. He just hopes that you don’t—or that you’ll forget. So prove to him that you know. Tell him:
“I have been bought with a price. I belong to God” (1 Corinthians 6:20).
“I cannot be separated from the love of God” (Romans 8:35).
“I can find grace and mercy at the time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
God’s people think like this. They walk with a reverent swagger. They live out of their inheritance. They show the Devil the new name on their spiritual passport. The secret of survival when the Devil draws near? Remember what God has done. And remember whose you are!
Please continue praying for our country to come together and for guidance for our president and our president elect Trump.
