Week of May 10-16
Theme: SING YOUR SONG
Read:
Of all the incredible things God made, which do you think is the most amazing?
Is it the Grand Canyon? Or the Milky Way? What about the North Pole?
Or Mount Everest? Or sunsets? Or starfish? Or the cheetah?
Do you know what God says is the best, most magnificent, incredible thing he has ever made?
You.
“You will be my own special treasure.” —Exodus 19.5
The whole world is signing a song. Have you heard it?
The wind is whispering it in the trees. The rain is dancing it on the rooftops. The whole of creation is singing it out together: “God loves us. He made us. He’s very pleased with us!”
It’s the song that’s been sung since the beginning. The song God created everything in his world to sing.
It’s the song without words. It’s the song you were created to sing too.
We forgot our song long ago, when we turned and ran away from God. But Jesus has come to bring us home to God—and to give us back our song.
So go on—sing your song!
