5 Beautiful Things We Can Learn from Autumn

Fall reveals to us the stunning parts of nature. The season of autumn helps us to acknowledge the details from honey crisp apples being picked off of a tree, to a large pumpkin grown in a patch, to a maple decorated beautifully with bright colors. Thinking about the details of acorns, pies, haystacks, fall wreaths, and evening strolls in the neighborhood gets me excited.

There is a clear and present beauty among us in this time period. This reminds us of how beautiful God’s creation is and ultimately points us to the beauty of the Lord Himself.

Psalm 27:4 says, “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.”

Coming out of a season of summer and schedules being off, many of us set back into a wonderful rhythm and routine. We get back to school or regular work hours, or we even get back into the gym.

A study done by NYS Society of CPA’s discovered in 2018, “Overall, it was found that the fall is the most productive season, as the most productive months are September, October and November.” This unique time is a moment of great productivity and effectiveness.

This can also carry over into our faith. In this season we can revamp and get back to a daily Bible study if we have gotten off schedule. We can jump into a new small group at church. We can take these opportunities of meeting new people and sharing Christ’s love with them.

God Himself is productive. Psalm 121:4 says, “Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”  He spends time watching over His people. He is the Creator who continues to create and never needs to sleep.

With fall on the way, may we consider these thoughts on what we can learn from this incredible season. It is a favorite time of year for many and although the activities and the beauty around us can be fun, it is important for us not to miss the spiritual lessons within. We can look towards Christ in this season and glean the joys of His abundance.
