A horrific car accident leads to a miraculous encounter after the driver of an SUV ran into a music store where 4-year-old Elise was sitting playing the drums. Jesus Himself picked her up and moved her to safety.
O Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
Psalm 104:1
As summer draws to a close, it’s tempting to think that nature has peaked and revealed its most beautiful season. But then autumn begins and we realize that the dazzling display of color, beauty, and amazing transformations only continues. The leaves begin to blur and fade into new colors, from green to tan, gold, scarlet, orange, and brown. The sky takes on a richer shade of blue. The air becomes crisp and soon the first frost leaves a diamond-etched layer of ice coating everything outside.
God’s beauty is always before us. Regardless of the season, his fingerprints leave indelible images for us to enjoy and to use as visual reminders of his glory, creativity, and power. We can revel in the sensual delights of autumn and use them as reminders to give thanks and praise for the wonders of the Creator’s handiwork.

Pray: “Lord, I give you thanks and praise for this new season of autumn. I’m so grateful for the many blessings and abundant life you give to me today.”
