Read Psalm 148

The natural world is both incredibly ancient and startlingly new.

Verses 3-10 are a vivid picture of the natural world being invited to praise God. Choose one of those verses and consider how you could make it part of your praying this week. How would reading that verse every day for the next week inform how you pray and what you pray about? 

(If in a group you could each choose your own verse and discuss why you were drawn to them or you could decide to choose one verse as a group to unpack together, whatever suits you.)

Read Revelation 21: 1-6

Read 2 Corinthians 5: 16-21
