Seasons change

Trees. Luminous in the forest. As the dying begins.

Letting go. Piece by piece. Leaf by leaf.

Orange. Yellow. Red.

Beautiful. And certain.

Seasons change.

“Tear your hearts….” The words grab my attention.

I’m reading the Word of the Lord that came to the prophet. Joel.

Judgment approaches. The Day of the Lord is coming. And God extends the invitation to return to Him.

Even now.

In this season. Advent. As we wait and watch. Anticipating the coming of the Savior.

In cross-cultural living over the years, daily conversations provide interesting entry points. For the gospel.

Asking the Spirit for wisdom, I watch and listen. Then see opportunities to share truth. Relating stories from Scripture.

In South and Southeast Asia, I notice one particular account often comes up. Addressing fears–named and unnamed. Pointing to our Savior.

That time Jesus said, “Peace. Be still.”
