A Walk On the Quiet Side!

You care for the land and water it;

    you enrich it abundantly.

The streams of God are filled with water

    to provide the people with grain,

    for so you have ordained it.

You drench its furrows and level its ridges;

    you soften it with showers and bless its crops.

You crown the year with your bounty,

    and your carts overflow with abundance.

The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;

    the hills are clothed with gladness.

The meadows are covered with flocks

    and the valleys are mantled with grain;

    they shout for joy and sing.

Psalm 65: 9-13

Well as I write this weeks blog, our first church youth have gone off to church camp where they will worship God in the majesty of His creation. They will go on hikes, they will go swimming and they fellowship with other youth that are on the same spiritual journey.

As a child and even now in adulthood I relish the walks that God and I share in the beauty of nature. Often in the quietness of the trees and flowers, and the sounds of God's creatures stirring can I truly hear God's voice.
As we go through our daily lives we often look to hear Gods voice screaming to us over the sounds of the world around us. 
My prayer for us all this day is that we don't look for God's voice in the form of a scream, instead let us look for God's whispering voice in the sound of a flowing stream, or the wind blowing through the tree's. God created the world around us as to steward. May we listen to the owner and creator when wanting directions and answers to the many questions that life raises within us.

It's Beautiful Outside
