This series of devotions are meant to serve as a simple reminder of
God's presence in the ordinary moment of everyday life. Throughout
the summer, we'll share a devotion each week to remind you of God's
presence and the power of hope. Every week, you'll find the
scripture, prayer, and reflection question on the website along
with links to other devotions.
Read
"Look at the birds, free and
unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the
care of God. And you count far more to him than birds." -
Matthew 6:26 (MSG)
Reflect
Listen to the above podcast.
Respond
Creator God, thank you for the
birds, the dirt, the bees, and all other flying and crawling things
that remind us of the wonder of your creation. Open my eyes and
ears this day to the sights and sounds of your creation. Then,
remind me that I, too, am your creation. Amen.
Return
At the end of the day, return to
this question:
How did God’s creation remind
you that you are one of God’s beloved? Give God thanks for the
ordinary moment today.
Return next week for another devotion on Hope in the
Ordinary.
