Summer's Sunset Approaching - Tracy Krauss

It's been a crazy summer. Wildfires, floods, heat waves and downpours. 

 Sometimes my resolve, commitment, and ambition are just like the weather. Hot one day and cold the next. If I lived my life according to my feelings, it would be crazy indeed!

 I'm so glad God never changes. Here are some scriptures to uplift your day no matter the weather outside (or in your heart):

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

 Numbers 23: 19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

 Romans 11:29 for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable
As the days of summer draw to a close and the evenings begin to stretch out, remember that God is still the same yesterday, today and forever. 

 *scriptures taken from the NIV

Whether ours have been "the lazy hazy days of summer" or busy, hot and steamy, or even stormy, wet and wild, your scripture selection offers encouragement and refreshment for the spirit. Thank you Tracy. ~~+~~
