Devotion for the Week

Read this verse 3 times. At least one time out loud.

Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters."

Zaburi 24:1 "Nchi na vyote viijazavyo ni mali ya Bwana, Dunia na wote wakaao ndani yake."

Now go take a walk. If possible, take a walk in a mostly natural place. Look, really look at the created world around you.
Notice the many shades of green.
Listen. What natural sounds do you hear?
Breathe deeply.
Praise God for his creativity!

Read the verse again after your walk.

Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters."

Zaburi 24:1 "Nchi na vyote viijazavyo ni mali ya Bwana, Dunia na wote wakaao ndani yake."

Bonus: Take a picture and post it on the church Facebook page or just share it with someone else.
