A Trip Around the Sun
In the past 24 hours, you’ve travelled 1.6 million miles. In fact, by the end of this year, you’ll cover 584 million miles without so much as a pit stop. Every day of your life is a journey - all adding up to a literal trip around the sun each year. One of the enemy’s schemes to keep us from fully and freely walking in God’s purposes is to deaden our sense of wonder and awe to the extraordinary nature of everyday life. When you’re on a daily journey of such magnitude, nothing is ordinary and every moment is precious. In fact, only when we’re awakened to the enormity of God’s masterpiece, will we feel true urgency to glorify Him with our lives. In A Trip Around the Sun, Pastor Louie Giglio invites us to maximize our journey and our potential. Guided by Psalm 90:12’s framework, join in as we ask God to “Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
