Fantastic Friday #342-Leaf

Leaf

²⁸ Those who trust in their riches will fall,
    but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.

²⁹ Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind,
    and the fool will be servant to the wise. Proverbs 11:28-29


As we were camping this week, it was interesting to see all the dead leaves and how they would fall to the ground and be blown at the will of the wind.  It reminded me of if we do not hold firm to our Lord, how we can be left swaying and rolling through life with no direction.  We can also see how people might see this time of the year to trust in their money to get the newest best thing, instead of trusting in the Lord to provide only what you need in your life.  I encourage you at this time of the year not to trust in something that is only here for a brief time, only to be tossed around by the wind, but to trust in the Lord who is always there and holds firm to us and doesn't allow us to blow around at the will of the wind.

Have a great weekend.
