The fall season is an exciting time of the year. First, the leaves take on beautiful colors and fall to the ground as the trees prepare to rest for the winter. Then, finally, there is a cooling down, and the air becomes cool and crisp, bringing refreshment. Change is happening all around us! The Jewish people celebrated three fall festivals, God’s appointed times celebrating the harvest gathering, times of rejoicing, and thanksgiving to God for His blessings (Leviticus 23:23-43).
The themes of the fall feasts are significant to us as believers in Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the feasts and the entire Old Testament (Luke 24:25-26). The feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) teaches repentance, the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), redemption, and the feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) rejoicing.
The fall season is a great time to set in motion a faith-based examination of our lives. Do we believe in a spiritual and financial harvest, and are we contending for it? Are there things we have allowed to slip that the Holy Spirit has instructed us to do? Remember, disobedience is sin (James 4:17). Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us? We must not allow fading of our passion for growing or letting things sap our energy, for we will reap a harvest in due season if we do not lose heart (Galatians 6:9).
