Scripture Reading
Ecclesiastes 3:1
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
Reflection
The changing of seasons is one of God's most reliable sermons. The trees are preparing to let go, and in doing so they will create one of the year's most beautiful displays. There is wisdom in the seasons' example: releasing what is no longer life-giving is not failure — it is faithfulness to the rhythm of things. What might you release this autumn?
Prayer for Today
Lord, I dedicate my loving boyfriend before your able hands, with the understanding that you can do great things. I pray that you give him wisdom in operating his business and that he may have innumerable success. Amen.
Amen.
