Autumn Bible Verses
Here are God’s Words for autumn days.
God is sovereign over the seasons. We can thank him for the shift into autumn as we remember that there is a purpose for every season of the year as well as every season of life.
17 Autumn Bible Verses to Replenish You
1. Jeremiah 5:24, ESV
They do not say in their hearts, “Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.”
As we watch the seasons change, God wants us to look toward him, acknowledging that he is still in the process of creating.
He is changing the leaves, bringing the autumn rains, and appointing the harvest. The glory of the changing seasons inspires us to look to God in awe and reverence, which is what it means to “fear the Lord.”
Let these seasonal changes prompt you to look to God in awe.
As we watch the seasons change, God wants us to look toward him, acknowledging that he is still in the process of creating. #faith #God Share on X
2. Deuteronomy 11:14
He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.
God appoints different times and seasons for different purposes.
In many parts of the world, autumn is the season for harvesting. We work hard in autumn to store up for the winter months ahead.
If this season has you feeling ragged, be encouraged. Do the work at hand with the anticipation of the season of rest to follow.
3. Ecclesiastes 3:1
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . .
The seasonal rhythms are always invitations to step back and assess our lives.
What does God want to show you as you transition from summer to autumn this year?
4. Psalm 85:12
Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
Every blessing in our lives is from the hand of God (James 1:17).
The change of seasons is a good time to step back and thank God for the blessings of the previous season.
What can you thank God for today?
5. Joel 2:23
Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.
God is always providing for us.
Take a moment to thank him for his provision over the past months.
In what way do you need to experience his provision as you look ahead to autumn?
6. 2 Corinthians 9:10
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
This verse also speaks of God’s provision.
God is capable of multiplying our possessions.
Do you need to see God’s multiplying power today? What would that look like in your life? Talk to him about it.
7. Psalm 104:19
He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
The long days of summer become routine by summer’s end.
As the days grow darker, we are reminded that God is sovereign over all creation. He is also sovereign over every detail of our lives.
8. Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
God makes everything beautiful in his timing.
He also puts a longing for eternity in the hearts of all humans.
What are you longing for today?
Ask God to stir your longing for him.
9. Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Autumn is a wonderful time of year to cultivate the practice of habitual gratitude.
Imagine starting every day of this season by speaking the words of this Psalm. How might starting your day with this truth change your perspective?
10. Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Seasonal changes remind us that everything around us changes, but God and his living Word never change.
Find your anchor on the Rock of the Lord, and your feet will remain planted on a firm foundation.
11. Psalm 150:6
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
The whole earth seems to praise the Lord in autumn.
The trees transform into brilliant colors. The fields shift from green to gold.
Let these changes prompt you to praise God as well.

Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
As we see God’s hand in nature, we are reminded that he holds our lives in his hand as well.
No problem is too big for him. No situation is impossible for him.
He has counted the number of hairs on our heads, and he knows us fully, better than we know ourselves.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy . . .

This should prompt our worship as well.

You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.
God not only created the natural world, but he also preserves it.
We can trust that the One who made the heavens and the seas will fulfill his plans for us as well.
17. Psalm 145:5
On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
