Today, we look at a Day 5 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “Boundless: God Beyond Measure.”
Reading The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long. (Psalm 23) Reflection If you get a chance this summer, take the opportunity to go outside on a starry night and lay down in the grass in an opening in the woods, a clearing, or a field and stare into the sky. Look up at the heavens and see the moon and the stars and remember God and the hosts of heaven as you do. Meditate on these words of Psalm 23 and imagine the Good Shepherd watching over you. Viewing the heavens and reflecting on creation while watching the stars can be a moving experience. You’ll undoubtedly feel God’s presence in creation. You may even feel humbled as you think about your place in God’s universe. The stars in the night sky should be a reminder that this summer, you should grow in your love and knowledge of the one who created you and worship God. The awesomeness and majesty of our Lord should be apparent as you take time to “lie down in green pastures.” Use your experience as a reminder that you should always worship God. --Chad Hershberger Prayer The heavens are yours, O Lord. Remind us of the mighty works you do. Amen.
