“Take a Walk Outside”

 

Today’s Lenten Challenge, to take a walk outside, might seem silly. Lots of us get out every day and those of us who work indoors get outside once we stop pushing pencils and keyboards. But today, let’s be intentional in how we spend time outside.

Spending time outside is more than just taking a fresh breath of air. It’s also about recognizing the magnificence, beauty, and size of the world God created. It’s experiencing life that can’t be recreated in any other way. Whether falling leaves, rolling waves, the warmth of the sun, the freshness of the wind, or the coolness of the rain, each moment outside provides a unique moment that God has provided for us.

Our world, and everything in it, is a great blessing! Take a walk outside, today. Give God another “Thank You” for the trees, the air we breathe, or another gift of creation you notice! It’s good and proper to occasionally thank the God who continues to provide more than we can ever imagine!

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display the LORD’s craftsmanship.” (Psalm 19:1, NLT)
