If we were to plan a giant picnic--a real celebration--we would want to think of everything.
Wonderful food, playful recreation and abundant freedom to rest, protection from the elements and pesky bugs, and most importantly, companions for fellowship and community.
I read through the Bible from my YouVersion app, and each day the app opens with a selected passage. In Ephesians 1, we read about what I am calling The Giant Picnic because we hear about God's plan with Christ at the helm: what pleasure He took in planning this; abundantly free; He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need; He wanted us to enter into the celebration.
Like I said--a giant picnic.
So, as we enter another work week, we can remember that a giant picnic awaits us in those moments that we ponder, praise, cry out and listen to God.
Don't forget the sonscreen.
