AUTUMN MEDITATIONS

GIVE THANKS TO HIM

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. ~1 Thessalonians 5:18

God is doing a new thing: Even though it seems a long night is falling upon the Earth, Autumn brings the promise of a fresh start and renewed hope. We are encouraged to look beyond past difficulties and open up to new possibilities that God is bringing about.
A time of uncertainty: When we hold to His promises, we can put our confidence in God. Trust here implies reliance, security, and faith, even in uncertain times.
He has never forsaken those who seek Him: The testimony is from history and experience: God has consistently been faithful. Seeking God never results in abandonment; He does not turn His back on those who depend on Him.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

This reminds us that with each season comes fresh mercy, hope, and God’s unfailing faithfulness.

Autumn Scriptures

Psalm 104:19

“He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.”

Genesis 8:22

"As long as the Earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

Lamentations 3:22–23

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

Proverbs 20:4

“Sluggards do not plow in season, so at harvest time they look but find nothing.”

John 4:35

“Don't you have a saying, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. ”

James 5:7

“Be patient then, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer wiats for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.”

More Autumn Light

Psalm 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’
1 John 1:5

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

God’s Love

Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This verse reveals the depth of God’s love—it is unconditional and sacrificial. Christ didn’t wait for us to become worthy or righteous; He gave His life while we were still lost in sin. It shows that God’s love is not based on our merit, but on His grace.

God’s Life

John 10:10 – I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
