TheLionWithin.Us: How to Tune Your Body

DAY 4 OF 5

Nature

Many leaders often find that they gain the closest access to God when they are in the great outdoors.

Genesis 1:26-27 illustrates how God gave us dominion, the authority to rule over, the animals of the sea and land. We should get outside and experience the world God wants His people to tend to and enjoy.

As the world has become more digital, it’s more important than ever for us to unplug and make time to commune with God in nature. This does not mean that you need to hike every mile of the Appalachian Trail or learn how to survive off berries and mushrooms. If you do those things, great, but simply going for a walk in the woods can rejuvenate your spirit. When you find yourself in nature, try something that’s intimidating to most people – be still. Listen to the sounds around you and give God a chance to speak, for God is often in the quiet places where He whispers something to you that completely changes your path.

For those that work inside, it is even more crucial to find time to get outside and feel the sunshine on your face. Be intentional about spending time outdoors. It’s common for some people to only get fresh air when they walk into and out of the office. That is not healthy, and we need to find ways to connect with God in nature as much as possible.

Question to Consider

  1. When is the last time you took a walk in the woods? Where do you fellowship with God?
  2. What do you need to change in your daily routines to get more access to nature and sunshine?
  3. What actions will you commit to today to be the leader God intends you to be?
