Shalom: The Earth is the Lord's, Part Two

Devotion for the Week
Double Challenge!

Challenge 1:
I challenge you to begin praying now for church next Sunday. And continue praying every day. Here are 3 things I encourage you to pray about:
1. Pray that you will hear from God.
2. Pray about whether you will commit to read through the book of Mark as we go through Mark on Sundays.
3. Pray that every person who walks through the doors of our church next Sunday will hear from God.

Challenge 2:
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."

What pictures come to your mind now as you read those words?

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