2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
How does autumn color happen?
Three factors influence autumn leaf;
- Color-leaf pigments
- Length of night
- Weather.
The timing of color change and leaf fall are primarily regulated by the calendar, that is, the increasing length of night. None of the other environmental influences-temperature, rainfall, food supply, and so on-are as unvarying as the steadily increasing length of night during autumn. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in the leaf begin to paint the landscape with Nature's autumn palette.
What triggers leaf fall?
In early autumn, in response to the shortening days and declining intensity of sunlight, leaves begin the processes leading up to their fall. The veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf gradually close off as a layer of cells forms at the base of each leaf. These clogged veins trap sugars in the leaf and promote production of anthocyanins. Once this separation layer is complete and the connecting tissues are sealed off, the leaf is ready to fall.
We need to change the way we think.
We need to change act.
We need to change the way we react.
We need to change the things that we do.
We need to change the way we are headed.
You need to get in touch with God and hold on tight through your trials.
Satan even tempted Jesus while he was on a fast because he knew that this was a time when he would be at his weakest.
You must know when God talks to you.
Matthew 11:12
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
What this means it that Satan is going to try everything he can to bring you back to his side and destroy you so that you can be in Hell with him.
Satan will place thing in our path to try and stop us from serving God.
Satan will keep placing you in the path that will destroy you.
He will place that last bottle of whiskey that you hid somewhere in a cabinet in the front of that cabinet so you can find it.
He will place that Dirty Magazine in front of you easy for grabs.
He will show you where that pack of cigarettes that you hid so you can find them.
He will help you accidently hit the wrong website so that you see that porn you used to watch.
But God is on your side and is that to help you in your time of despair.
When Jesus came to the men in the ship and said I need to go to the other side a storm came up.
Anytime that you are in a storm that is when the devil shows up to take back what God has given you.
And when Jesus was in the bottom of that boat a storm came up and the men on that boat went to Jesus and said Master there is a terrible storm and Jesus answered and said you men of little faith.
I want to point out something here and that is they were in the middle of the storm and Jesus slept.
Daniel was in the Lions den and he slept.
Elijah slept because he was so tired and overwhelmed in the wilderness after fleeing from Jezebel.
Jesus was about to be crucified and he slept.
These people knew that they could sleep in the middle of the storm or problems that came their way because they knew God had them.
We must know and go to God when the devil is trying to attack us.
