OCTOBER

October and the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear...
​But you go on
And on
The life of mortals is like grass… like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love…. and his kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103:15-19 NIV

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. Isaiah 40:8 NIV
Kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on
The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. Psalm 10:16 NIV

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.... He says, "Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:6,10 NIV

Jesus: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.... Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Matthew 24:7,35 NIV see also Mark 13:8 & Luke 21:10
