🍁 Walking Together in Autumn #01

β€œWhy I Choose to Meditate on God’s Word”

Dear Greenland Family,

Can you believe there are only three months left in 2025? Time flies so fast!Yet I’m so thankful that we get to spend this last season of the year walking together through β€œWalking Together in Autumn.” My hope is that we will take this time to look deeper, think deeper, and discover the meaning and value God has planted in our daily lives.

This week, I’ll begin the first reflection, but in the coming weeks, I look forward to sharing your meditations as well. May our reflections help us see more of who God is and how He works in our lives. As we hear the stories of His workβ€”His Storyβ€”in one another’s lives, may our inner selves be filled with His love, grace, and joy.

Today, I want to share why I personally try never to miss a day of Scripture meditation.There could be many reasons why one meditates on the Word of God: because we are God’s children, because we are Christians, because His Word is important.But for me, the deepest reason is thisβ€”so that I won’t live a wandering life.

Proverbs 29:18 says:

β€œWhere there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.”

There was a time when I thought being a pastor automatically meant living a holy life. But I soon realized that even pastors can live carelessly when they stop meditating on God’s Word. I found myself living as though I were the master of my own lifeβ€”making decisions based on my feelings and doing what pleased me rather than what pleased God.Even ministry can turn into mere work if it’s not rooted in the Wordβ€”something we do for God, rather than with God.

When I meditate on Scripture, I notice that my thoughts begin to shift.I start asking more often, β€œWhat does God desire?” instead of β€œWhat do I want?”I start searching for what pleases Him.In that process, I experience the Word leading me.Just as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says:

β€œTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

When we meditate on Scripture, the living Wordβ€”Jesus Himselfβ€”enters into us.Each time, we are made new.Of course, we’re still β€œunder construction,” but little by little, day by day, transformation happens. That’s why I cannot give up meditating on the Wordβ€”it keeps shaping and renewing me.

My hope and prayer for all Greenlanders is that Scripture meditation will become a part of your daily rhythmβ€”a joy, not a dutyβ€”so that, step by step, we may all be transformed into the kind of people who bring delight to God.

🌿 Reflection Questions

  1. How important is God’s Word to you personally?
  2. What practices help you let God’s Word sink into your daily life?
  3. What are your hopes for Walking Together in Autumn 2025?

🍁 How to Participate

  1. Read each daily Walking Together in Autumn Letter and record your thoughts and reflections in your own spiritual journal.
  2. You may send your reflections or journal entries to me via email or through the link below. We hope to compile them later into a Greenlanders Reflection Book. πŸ‘‰ Reflection Link
  3. Selected reflections will be shared anonymously in future Autumn Letters or during Sunday Worship so that more people can be blessed. During the 8-week journey, each person is encouraged to send 2–3 reflections.
  4. You can also post your reflections as comments on the Greenland Church website so that others may be encouraged as well. 🌐 Walking Together Page
