Psalm 16
1. Fall is where we reap what we’ve sown
a) my choices matter
b) doing good matters
c) perseverane is a must
d) we all have opportunities
Galatians 6:7-10
Fall is when we realize three things:
a) doing good matters
b) perseverance is a must
c) we all have opportunities
2. Fall is where we see how we’ve sown
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
3. Fall is where your faith is most on display
Hebrews 6:7-8
4. Fall is for feasting
Nehemiah 8:9-12
5. Fall is for gratitude
Psalm 95:1-6
“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not to be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with. . . . The Scotch catechism says that man’s chief end is ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.’ But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.”
