Millions of people visit Yellowstone National Park each year. This devotional book takes you on a tour of the park, starting at the Roosevelt Arch and pausing at places like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Upper and Lower Falls, Yellowstone Lake Hotel, Old Faithful Inn, Castle Geyser, Grand Prismatic Spring, and more. If you're in the park, you could read the devotional for each corresponding location. Or sit back and recall the highlights of your trip as you read through the devotional readings. As we explore God's creation in Yellowstone National Park, we discover a recurring theme of God's faithfulness. Each devotional reading ends with a prompt for reflection or journaling.

The majestic arch built of stone was completed by the US Army. The arch includes an inscription from the 1872 legislation that created Yellowstone as the first national park: "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People." People arrived in Gardiner by train and were loaded onto horse-drawn carriages. But the wide-open landscape of Gardiner, Montana needed a defined entrance to provide a sense of arrival. The Roosevelt Arch remains an iconic landmark to this day. When we arrive somewhere for the first time, it's helpful to have markers to indicate we're in the right place. God encouraged his people to put up spiritual road signs so they could find their way back to him (Jeremiah 31:21). He also reminded them to ask for directions to find the old, godly way and walk in it (Jeremiah 6:16). If they would walk on the godly path, they would find rest. Sometimes we are determined to blaze a new trail, when God has laid out an established path that would be easier. If we would follow the signs left for us, we would walk with peace and confidence. Set up road signs; put up guideposts. Mark well the path by which you came. Come back again, my virgin Israel; return to your towns here. Jeremiah 31:21 This is what the LORD says: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, 'No, that's not the road we want!'" Jeremiah 6:16 Do you tend to blaze trails or follow the established path? Ask God what kind of path you are on, what road signs to look for, and whether you are on the right path.
