Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional September 19 2020 – Fall Colors: Gold
And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city.
Revelation 21:15
Recommended Reading: Revelation 21:14-21
Autumn trees are never more beautiful than when they burst into gold. It seems incredible that the leaves of summer should change into colors that remind us of wealth.
Few things are more valuable than gold. It’s the only metal on earth that is yellow or golden in color, and it is extremely pliable. Almost half of all the gold mined today is used in jewelry. Maybe you have some of it in your dresser drawer. If not, you might want to check with the U.S. Federal Reserve. They have 530,000 gold bars laying around somewhere.
God created gold to delight us, and the Architect of New Jerusalem is using it as a primary building material as He prepares a place for us. Revelation 21:18 says, “The city was pure gold, like clear glass.”
If you have a gold ring (or if you simply see a golden tree this fall), let it always remind you of the City of Gold—the City of God—the eternal inheritance for His children.
We are all going to emigrate in a very little while to a country that is very far away…. A grand and glorious world where God reigns.
D. L. Moody
