“What shall I return to the Lord
for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.”
– Psalm 116:12-13 (NRSVue)

Wednesday, April 22, is Earth Day—an opportunity to celebrate and give thanks for the amazing gift of God’s Creation. In Psalm 116, the poet asks what he must do in return for this bounty that God has freely given.
This week, consider the beauty and bounty of the earth and all its creatures, and ask the same question: What is my obligation, in the midst of God’s good Creation?
