Fall is officially here, and depending on where you live, the leaves have begun to change, bringing an array of warm hues that light up your neighborhood—and especially so as the sun drenches them in its own light.
While this change is certainly something that many of us enjoy (maybe it’s even the season you’ve been waiting for all year), what a comfort to know that even as the leaves change—and even as the seasons of our lives may change—our God does not! He remains ever constant—faithful, true, and kind. His promises endure, and His character remains unchanged in every way. He “does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17). May we find great comfort in that truth.
As you settle into this new fall season with its shifting colors—maybe amid shifts in your own life—perhaps you are looking for a resource to remind you of your heavenly Father’s steadfast character, His steady hand in your life, and His unwavering love for His children. October’s book picks offer a list of some of our very favorites that carry reminders of these truths. We hope they will encourage you to find your hope in the One who never changes and is with you always—through every smile and tear, high and low, season after season.
