Rocky Mountains National Park - "The LORD of All"
Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. You know the message Giod sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is LORD of all. You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached--how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointment as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
ACTS 10:34-38,42

He brings down to the grave and raises up.
The LORD sends poverty and wealth;

Upon them he has set the world.

But the wicked will be silenced in darkness.
It is not by strength that one prevails;
He will thunder against them from heaven;
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give strength to his king

MoultrIe Creek - Quiet Resting Places
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and
assurance forever.
My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
Though hail comes down on the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.
Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.

Jasper Park - Ask, Seek, Knock and the Door will be Opened
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Faher in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him?"
Matthew 7:7-11
O Lord, My Strength and my Fortress
my refuge in time of distress,
to you the nations will come
from the ends of the earth and say,
"Our fathers possessed nothing
but false gods, worthless idols
that did them no good.
Do men make their own gods?
Yes, but they are not gods."
