The Longest River

The Nile River—stretching over 4,100 miles—is the longest river in the world. Flowing through eleven countries in Africa, it has sustained civilisations for thousands of years. It’s more than a body of water; it’s a testimony to God’s creative power. From its source to the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile reminds us that what God creates is purposeful, powerful, and enduring. Creation speaks of His majesty. Rivers flow because He said, “Let there be.”

Psalm 24:1-2 tells us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters” (NIV). Every current and stream echoes the voice of God’s creation. If He can carve rivers through continents, He can surely carve a way through our challenges too.

Let the river remind you—you are part of God’s divine plan.
