21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
KEY VERSE: Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. – 1 Corinthians 3:7 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I have good memories of being outside with my dad in early fall. It is a beautiful season — especially here in the Pacific Northwest where we see the trees changing to red, orange, and yellow and feel a new coolness in the air.
The change of seasons can teach us about God too. It reminds us that there is a pattern to our lives — times for sowing and times for reaping. No matter the season, God is with us.
God speaks to us through the changing seasons. Our faithful Creator cooperates with us as we go through seasons of sowing and reaping. Harvest time reminds us that there is a reward for our effort as well as a time to enjoy and reflect on the fruits of our labors. In fallow seasons, we learn to wait on God; when we experience the blessing of a bountiful harvest, we give thanks. In every season we can see signs of God’s faithfulness.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for giving us the changing seasons that remind us of your care and presence with us always. Thank you for your faithfulness. Amen.
Thought for the Day
God remains faithful in every season.
Prayer Focus
Gratitude for God’s faithfulness
