Ten Day Wilderness Devotional

Free to all who want to reflect on God and His creation

‘Wilderness Ministries’ and the 10 day wilderness devotional were started about 15 years ago. At that time, there simply wasn’t a devotional specifically written for the ten days that most adventure trips last.

The original website basically included a contact email, and we would have the devotional published locally in bulk and fill requests as they came in. At the time, web hosting was expensive and bulk printing/publishing wasn’t cheap. Over the years, we sent hundreds of devotionals out to people from all branches of Scouting and walks of life. A number of things came together that forced us to stop offering the devotional about 6 years ago.

The project was not forgotten, though it certainly could have (should have) been brought back sooner. As before, the devotional is free, but now it can be easily downloaded in PDF format and printed. If you’d like to buy bulk printed copies, this can be done through LuLu. The only charges will be LuLu’s printing cost; we haven’t marked up the price.

Day 2

For Fellowship:
Psalms 122:1 (KJS) “...I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

Learning to be comfortable in the outdoors under all types of conditions is a learning process. Learning how to lift and portage an 80-pound canoe or heavy pack over long distances can be a back-breaking experience until we seek out someone that knows how and is willing to teach us.

If we are to fellowship with the Lord, we must learn of him. What God expects of us, his power, his love, anger at sin, our future without him and much more is to be learned by reading his word and fellowship with others of like faith. Fellowship with Him can be just sitting in a quiet place listening to the wind moving the leaves, the smell of the pine trees—our Creator made these places just as he made us.
