20160515_ Gen 8:22 The Four Seasons - Autumn

Gen 8:22"While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease."

The earth rotates. The earth is divided into the northern and southern hemispheres. The equator being the divider of the two.

Here in red dot, we are always in summer.  And the weather has been hot, hotter and hottest in recent months.  A high of 37.5 degrees an all time high in history.  

So down under Perth, is now experiencing autumn! (May in southern hemisphere)

Wow! awesome red leaves...and it brought back my first autumn experience in 2014 (northern hemisphere) when we went to Canada, London Ontario- where trees were golden and red too!

A seasonal reflection as we enter into the mid half of 2016?

So much has happened in the first half.  There seemed to be a real change in the weather patterns.  El-Nino or La-Nina effects. Earthquakes and more earthquakes ... Only God YHWH knows.

Matt 24 the disciples asked Jesus "...when will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

No one knows for sure.

But one thing is for sure. IN Gen 8:22  "While the earth remains.. Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease."

Jeremiah 5:22-24!

"Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD "Should you not tremble in my presence?"

The LORD made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross!

The LORD gives autumn and spring rains in SEASON, and assures us of the regular weeks of the harvest!

YHWH is the Lord of the Creation - the earth and the heavens.

Tick Tock Tick Tock. Who needs the clock? LOL

Look at the trees and their leaves.  From green to yellow red or brown and then bald. From the cold to the heat. Then the green again.  This is the change of what we know as SEASONS.  

Has Jesus come again? No.

The earth is still here.

I am still here on a little red dot in this globe that is still turning and circulating around the sun.  

Oops. I am still held back by this awesome gravitational force from the centre of this earth!

I wish little red dot has the 4 seasons .  It would made life more interesting as we can change to the various fashionable clothes in season.  And I would easily identify that one season of the 3 months is gone.  A new one has begun...

Was reminded of this beautiful song by Liu Jia Chang - About the Autumn.

作曲：劉家昌

深秋楓又紅　秋去留殘夢

　我心付諸於流水　恰似落葉然飄零

轉眼之間白雪遮晴空　寒風襲嚴冬

　莫待櫻花樹開春來　也踏雪尋芳

Decided to play this song on the keyboard and guitar now in May 2016! And remembered fond memories of my first autumn experience back in Oct 2014 - USA/Canada! Wow time indeed flies.

Simply to remind myself : A call to fear and revere the Lord of the Maker of the Heaven and Earth .  Ps 31:15 My times are in His hands.  So are the seasons of my life! Praise the Lord - the giver of my breath! Praise Him for the snores of the night! The sounds of the snores at times means that I am still stuck here on this earth! And He has not come yet. 

Ps33:18 " But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine."
