Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. (Joshua 1:3 ESV)
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever. (Psalm 37:29 ESV)

Reflection: What is the foundation of your faith? Does it give you confidence to step forward even when the path is uncertain.? From Abraham’s call to Moses’ deliverance, the Lord consistently fulfills His word, leading His people to a future full of hope. By standing on God’s promises, we anchor our hearts in His faithfulness, trusting that He will guide and bless us in the journey ahead, just as He has done throughout history.
Action: Stewardship and Responsibility: Land emphasizes our role as stewards of the earth. We are called to care for creation, recognizing that the earth belongs to the Lord (Psalm 24:1). Actionable steps include reflecting on how we are managing the resources and opportunities God has entrusted to us, practicing gratitude, and engaging in sustainable practices within our communities.
