ISAIAH 55 : 8 - 11

8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth

And making it produce and sprout,

And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

11 So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;

It will not return to Me empty,

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it. "

Autumn

Welcome to BIBLE PAGES by Peridot Path ! 😊

Let's explore the topic of Autumn.

Autumn is a very unique season with its beautiful colorfulness and its pleasing aromas , as well as being a season of rains and harvests. Autumn is also a time for the seasonal changes of the fashion industry and for educational pursuits , amongst other things. In the Fall , some of God's creatures begin to prepare for the upcoming winter by either migrating ; or by doing extra labor to produce food stockpiles or to gain weight for their winter's hibernation. This season can also bring people outdoors more often as they enjoy the cooling down from the summer's heat. Which ever season you enjoy the most , or like the least , be sure and take advantage of finding several things that you like that are specific to each season . This will help you to welcome each day and season more readily. If you've struggled with enjoying a particular season , for whatever reason , then please ask God for His grace to help you to enjoy that specific season with you . He will respond to your faith with His loving care.

With the Fall harvests coming in , some farmers install scarecrows in their fields to ward
off any unwanted creatures who would invade them. Although the effectiveness of scarecrows can be debated , the topic did find its way into the Bible . In Jeremiah 10 : 5 , the uselessness of idols was compared to a scarecrow.

Jeremiah 10 : 5

Amplified Bible
“They are like scarecrows in a cucumber field ; They cannot speak ; They have to be carried , Because they cannot walk ! Do not be afraid of them, For they can do no harm or evil , Nor can they do any good.”

{ Please note that there is quite a division between translations on whether the term cucumber , melon or palm tree should be used for the above verse }.

Although many people do not have a field to harvest , most people enjoy the crops that come from these fields - as God had designed for us to do - , but some have found a way to bring the feel of a harvest field to their place through adorable scarecrow dolls , such as this one pictured below from pixabay user " ErikaWittlieb " .

The apple , pumpkins and other produce are part of the Fall harvest.

Do you have any favorite fall foods that you've enjoyed lately ?

The below photo of fallen apples is from pixabay user " Catkin ".

The above photo is a perfect example of an apple tree doing what is called an abscission.

ABSCISSION : ab·scis·sion

/abˈsiZHən/

Botany

The natural detachment of parts of a plant, typically dead leaves and ripe fruit.

* * * * * * * * * * *

GENESIS 1 : 11 - 13

https://biblehub.com/amp/genesis/1.htm

11" So God said, “Let the earth sprout [tender] vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to (limited to, consistent with) their kind, whose seed is in them upon the earth”; and it was so.

12 The earth sprouted and abundantly produced vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, according to their kind; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it.

13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. "

Defining Thanksgiving

[ The above picture is from pixabay user GDJ ]

Welcome to BIBLE PAGES . :)

As this world is dealing with extraordinarily distressing times right now ,

please turn an earnest heart towards God through studying His Written Word ,

giving Him thanks for every good thing , and letting Him have your heart of

praise and prayers. Listen to His Word :

__________________________________________________________________________

Jeremiah 29:13

" You will seek me and find me

when you seek me with all your heart. "

https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/29-13.htm

__________________________________________________________________________

God bless you as you acknowledge Him ! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; ... " Psalm 107 : 1

https://biblehub.com/psalms/107-1.htm

The original language defines " thanks " in this verse as : to throw or cast.

Strong's Concordance

yadah: to throw, cast

Original Word: יָדָה
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: yadah
Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-daw')
Definition: to throw, cast

At the link below , you'll find that this same word , in other places , is

translated as :

confess / gave / gave praise / give you thanks / give thanks / giving praise /

giving thanks / glorify / hymns of thanksgiving / making confession / praise /

shoot / thank / thanksgiving / throw down .

https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3034.htm

Faith , thanksgiving and love do not go unnoticed by God !

Keep these flowing from your heart , and He will bless you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Defining Thanksgiving

The topic of thanksgiving can be mainly divided into two main categories.

One category is more defined by being appreciative of things going in a

desired direction. The other category does include the aspect of appreciation ,

but it also includes the belief that there is someone to whom is owed a heart

of thanks. As one explores the pages of the Bible , and encounters the

modern testimonies of countless multitudes , you will find a pattern of those

He blesses , how He blesses them , and why. God has shown that

He delights in those who choose to honor Him with trust , thanksgiving and

respect .

One individual who went from having everything , to nothing , and then having

everything again is JOSEPH . Please read this extraordinary account of his trials

and triumphs , from being rejected and destitute , to being able to bless the nations ,

as it is written in the pages of Genesis .

At this time , it is November 2020 , and the world has been dealt a strong

blow by the pandemic called Covid-19. This virus has robbed the lives , livelihoods

and lifestyles of many across the globe , but for all of the tragedies that are being

faced , let us remember that God cares about the suffering of humanity and His

ears are open to respectful prayers . God is well able to heal bodies and minds , broken

hearts and suffering economies , so let's give Him thanks for every good thing

and lean on Him for our many needs.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

May God bless this world , which is suffering under many types of hardships ,

with His grace , salvation and healing - everyday. Amen !

At this time , our frontliners { all first responders , the medical community

and other helpers } have suffered the brunt of the hardships that this pandemic has

brought upon the world. We owe them our deep gratitude , and we most assuredly owe

God thanks for the help that they provide , but we can take our thanks a few steps

further.

First , please pray for the frontliners to have all of the grace and salvation that

they need for their own well being , their jobs and their families.

Second , hospitals are pleading with people to wear their masks , and to avoid social

gatherings , in order to save lives and to prevent the medical community from being

dangerously overwhelmed.

Third , please pray for God to call people into the various frontliner career fields !

Sadly , too many have lost their lives while serving others . It is so imperative that every

region have a minimum number of professionals available to adequately service their areas ;

and since He knows those who would be an asset to certain professions and communities ,

let's pray accordingly .

Fourth , please take care of your health ! The fewer health problems you have , the

easier it is to recover from any affliction. In closing , please :

Be well . Be prayerful . And be thankful . :)

The Number 13 Series : November 13

To many , the number thirteen ( 13 ) has plenty of negative

connotations , but here , on BIBLE PAGES , we're going to enjoy

the number thirteen from a better perspective. 👍

From HISTORY , November 13 certainly has a variety of good and

bad events , but two positive dates include : [ wiki sourced info ]

1956 - SCOTUS declared Alabama's bus segregation to be illegal.

Racial hatred has no place in a clean heart.

If you are dealing with racial hatred , then please ask God for

forgiveness , and for Him to fill your heart with His love and grace.

He will forgive you and move many mountains for you , and for

others , too. God bless you as you pursue a pure heart !

Matthew 7:12
" In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you.

For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets."

Romans 13:8
" Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love, for he who loves

his neighbor has fulfilled the Law."

Romans 13:10
" Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment

of the Law. "

1982 - The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated.

To our military personnel and families , our nation owes them

a debt and full respect , irregardless of one's opinions of their

assignments at that time . Our nation tried to save South Vietnam

from the very anti-freedom ways of Communism ; and even though

South Vietnam fell to Communist North Vietnam anyway -

for numerous reasons - our major objective was noble .

Those who lost their lives due to that war , they should not be

forgotten , be they civilian or military. And neither should we

forget the mistakes made during that era that allowed the fall

to happen. Communism is always worthy of our best fight against it !

.......................................................................................

Switching over to another topic , each month - and sometimes

on specific days - there are food themes that have been established .

For the second week of November ( November 13 , 2020 ),

SPLIT PEA SOUP is the theme. God blessed us with the

very healthful vegetable called the Pea , so if you can find a

way to enjoy peas in your diet , it will be an investment in your health !

Investigate this informative page from Wikipedia about Peas ,

which includes a nutrition chart , pictures of the peas , flowers

and even art work ; plus it has some international information related

to God's produce, also. Enjoy !
