Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park, Canada - “Universe Formed at God’s Command”

 

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

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

Ukrainian Brothers and Sisters in Christ - Remember the Battle of Jericho!

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[a] have for his servant?”

The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

 Joshua 5:13-15

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending

Then thousand years and then forevermore

Grasping for the Wind

 

I have seen all the works that 
are done under the sun; and 
indeed, all is vanity and grasping 
for the wind.

What is crooked cannot be 
made straight.
And what is lacking cannot 
be numbered.

I communed with my heart,
saying, "Look, I have attained 
greatness, and have gained
more wisdom than all who were 
before me in Jerusalem.  My heart
has understood great wisdom
and knowledge."

And I set my heart to know
wisdom and to know madness
and folly.  I perceived that this
also is grasping for the wind.

For in much wisdom is
much grief.
And he who increases
knowledge increases
sorrow.

Ecclesiastes 1:16-18

Nothing New Under the Sun

 

That which has been is what will be.
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything of which it may be said,
"See, this is new'?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
There is no remembrance of former things,
that are to come
By those who will come after.

 Ecclesiastes 1:9-11



Savor Each Day


 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, 
to think, to enjoy, to love."

~~Marcus Aurelius

Lift up your eyes


 "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'?  Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together."

John 4:35-36

He who comforts us

 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

2 Corinthian 1:3


God's Everlasting Love


 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:  "I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

Jeremiah 31:3

The Earth is My Sister

 

The earth is my sister.  I love her daily grace, her silent daring, and how loved I am.  How we admire the strength in each other,  all that we have lost, all that we have suffered, all that we know.  We are stunned by this beauty, and I do not forget, what she is to me, what I am to her.
