Fill your Easter season with challenging, inspirational, and hope-filled thoughts about God and his gift of bodily and earthly stewardship in this Lenten devotional by author and pastor Kevin Tully.
This forty-day devotional guide comprises a combination of life experiences, self-reflections, and open-ended questions the author gleaned while either exercising or engaging in a seemingly mundane-yet God-inspired-task: picking up trash.
The two resulting themes-care for our bodies and care for our planet-shine through in these daily devotions. Tully's ruminations are eminently relevant in today's culture, one in which people of all walks of life are beginning to take ownership of the God-honoring responsibility of stewardship.
For Christians, caring for the earth stems from an innate respect for God's creation and his sense of order. This is especially pertinent during Lent, and anyone looking for a fresh take on this traditional period of renewal and reflection will be both encouraged and stimulated by each "thought for today."
Buttressed by scripture and real-life stories, these devotions will indeed help you clear out the trash from your own life and work harder to make your world brighter and more beautiful.
