River Of Life

"And the angel showed me a pure river with the water of
life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God."
Rev. 22:1 (NLT)

Fall, in all its glorious opulence, is what we experienced as we drove through the mountains of Northern California. The orange and gold colors of the aspens and maples were breathtaking.

We took scenic drives through forests of evergreens. There, our eyes feasted on the beauty of clear lakes high on the mountains, waterfalls, cliffs and unusual rock formations. Animals of the land crossed our paths without fear of harm. Snow from winters past glistened high upon the mountains.

Only a Holy, Living, God that we love and serve could create such a mass profusion of beauty.

And then we found ourselves walking on the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe calls two states its home because the state lines run through the middle of the lake. Magnificent Sierra Mountains surrounded the entire area. I sensed God's presence on the shoreline of that calm, emerald lake.

The fall air was crisp and cool and the sun was shining brightly. It was easy to bask in the grandeur of it all!

God spoke gently to my spirit as I gazed across the splendor of that lovely Lake Tahoe. Nothing, He whispered softly, will compare to the clear, crystal river of life, flowing from the throne of God.

That day I soaked up the earthly magnificence all around me. In Heaven, we will know the fullness of life with God, and the everlasting blessings that come when we trust Jesus and allow Him to satisfy our spiritual thirst.
