Falling with you

 "... be careful that you don’t fall!  No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:12-13

Cool, crisp air, roasted marshmallows and the crunching of fallen leaves under the feet... don't you just love Fall?  A favorite childhood memory for me is raking up fallen leaves as high as possible and jumping in them.  But not all falls come with satisfying, safe landings.

Life is filled with temptations.  When weary or busy, falling away from our faith and trust in God is possible.  The crushing of our spirit and coldness of heart can leave us feeling forsaken and panicky.  This is not what our Father intends for us.

When faced with temptations and hard times, God provides an abundance of methods to cushion the fall and to help restore our faith.  Through prayer, worship, music, reading His Magnificent Word, or talking with a fellow believer, God equips us with the tools to stay strong in leaning on Him, the Root of our faith.  

Father, i am so grateful You Fall with me... giving me what i need.  Thank You for catching me when i fall and for providing numerous ways to assist in safe landings.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
