Sit on an autumn seat
And let your gaze
Meet with warm shades of colour.
Or discover the pristine white of frost
Everywhere about us
Not to be lost to our awareness.
In this precious month.
The world has become quieter,
Slower in pace,
Having given up the fast race
Of time, to combine rest
With waiting, God’s dating.
Relax, look about you
To see what will not be
In any month
Other than November.
Each month holds its own treasure.
What can you now see
That speaks of God’s glory?
His beauty must not escape us.
For all that is beautiful around us,
Serves a real purpose.
Be still, be silent, relax!
God is more likely to come to us
When not frantically busy.
He requires silence to speak in,
To whisper to an open heart,
A searching mind wanting, willing to find grace.
Grace, precious gift of our Father,
Oh how vital it is to know this,
Feeling His loving calmness surround us.
Autumn is a season of outstanding beauty.
Surely it must be our duty to see this,
To even become a part of this.
Relax, rest, confess your need.
You can plead before God during worship.
God never overlooks us, does not pass us by.
