“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
This next week is a busy one for all I am sure. It is ever important to make time to take care of ourselves in the busyness of the holidays. The challenge this week is this: each day, take time to go outside for a walk.
It might be cold, it might be a short walk or a long one, it may be alone or with your husband and kids, but take the time every day to get out in nature, in the fresh brisk air and just walk.
There is something about getting out in the fresh air that can just renew and refresh your attitude and spirit. I love the verse above about our strength being renewed. Take time to reflect on this verse in your walk and hope in the Lord.
There are numerous benefits to walking every day. It has been proven to improve your mood, spark creativity, reduce risk of chronic disease and more. Such a simple thing like walking every day is obviously beneficial, but we want to challenge you a little further to spend that time outside. Spend some time appreciated God’s creation and thanking him.
