October 14th & 15th, 2006
The Lord sent me and my children on a family outing Saturday to the beach area of Lake Michigan in Indiana. It is a great time of year to go up there, for not only can the leaves changing colors offer quite a display but also when it's cold and windy, Lake Michigan can offer up to 20 ft waves. And, on really clear days, you can see the Chicago skyline all the way across the water (straight across the water I have no clue how far that is but driving miles from the point where we stand on the beach in Indiana and can see Chicago is about 90 miles).
This year the leaves have a few colorful bursts here and there but nothing like in past years. Holy Spirit kept pointing out how they are not as 'brilliant' (colorful), instead more "flat" (dull).
Even on Sunday, the Lord had me drive the routes around town and in the country here where the colors are typically most vivid. Again they are flat and it's almost as if most of the trees are going from green to bare without color change at all, but those that have changed (again with a few exceptions of lovely color) most look (for example) red but crispy - like dried out and just DULL.
The Lord spoke to me and said, "You know that all splendor is Mine - it always has been and always will be". And I said, "Of course My Love, for who is like unto Thee?" He continued, "As My return draws nearer and nearer, all beauty is on Me so that all eyes are upon Me. Even creation must bow unto My splendor...for yea, I AM NEARER THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN."
Clothed In Majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
Who has ears let him hear what the Spirit saith...
