Thought for October 2025
The Lord our Provider
Time and Tide (season) waits for no man, as day follows night, autumn follows summer, and what a summer, wall to wall sunshine. Great for those who enjoy being outside, but a real and ongoing challenge for those who rely on summer rain for their crops. As we move into autumn fruit trees and hedgerows seem to be burdened with fruit and berries. Is this a portent of a cold winter?
Before we know it we will be approaching winter. Kaspar Boye’s “An Autumn Hymn” captures the faithfulness of God through the changing seasons.
What though the sunlight wane? ne'er wanes
The grace of Christ the Lord;
Amid the gathering gloom shines on
God's everlasting Word.
Though leaf may wither, flower fade,
Though tiny grass blade pale;
Our hearts can trust a surer truth—
God's love shall never fail.
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” – Philippians 4:19
