A walk in the woods

I took a walk this morning.

There was a nip in the air - nothing a light jacket could not handle.
I turned one corner and rounded another, everywhere beauty called; In the flowers budding, the cardinals and robins singing, twirling around branches and twigs.
I came to a pond.
The sun gently gazed upon its surface, calm and peaceful.
The sun turned to the trees and they glistened, their leaves shone like honey droplets, sweet and golden.

What is it about the trees and the sun that makes artists turn to verse? 🤔

“I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” Psalm 37:25

Bishop Henry Luke Orombi’s bible devotions have made rounds on WhatsApp. With simplicity he delves into scripture and expounds the Word of God.

My heart is not proud, Lord,

    my eyes are not haughty;

do not concern myself with great matters

    or things too wonderful for me.

But I have calmed and quietened myself,

    I am like a weaned child with its mother;

    like a weaned child I am content.

 Israel, put your hope in the Lord

    both now and for evermore.

Psalm 131
