East Inlet Trail, Rocky Mountains - "Fixing our eyes on Jesus"


 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.  And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.  For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lost heart.

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

Parc National Jacques Cartier, Quebec, Canada - “Faith the Substance of Things Hoped for”


 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.   By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible…
But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:1,8

North Beach Park Vilano - "Living and Active"


 The word of God is living and active, shaper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

In the Silence - Arapaho Forest Fires

 



As far as the eye could see, everything was burned; No wildlife, no birds for miles.  Not a tree standing without scorched limbs and blacken trunks.  Over 300,000 acres of National Forest System lands on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest in 2020.  As we drove though the forests, flowers and plants appeared everywhere.  Beautiful pink and yellow flowers decorating the ground at the feet of the ravage burnt trees.

May the God of peace...equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to  him.

Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV

Thought for the Day:  Sometimes God speaks most powerfully through silence.

Garden of The Gods National Natural Landmark



 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 10:27 NIV

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it." when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

Isaiah 30:21 ESV

Ask me, and I will tell you things that you don't know and can't find out.

Jeremiah 33:3 CEV

The Spirit shows what is true and will come and guide you into the full truth.  The Spirit doesn't speak on his own.  He will tell you only what he has heard from me, and he will let you know what is going to happen.

John 16:13 CEV

In the past, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets of many times and in various ways, but in these days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.  The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.  After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.  So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Hebrews 1:1-5 NIV

Emerald Green Waters



Alaska rivers are like mirrors reflecting all the beauty of the sky above and the majestic mountain peaks.  Emerald rivers flow for miles.  Is this not paradise?

"You, Lord, in the beginning 
laid the foundation of the earth.
And the heavens are the 
work of Your hands;
They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old 
like a garment;
Like a cloak You will fold them up;
And they will be changed.
But You are the same
And Your years will not fail."

Hebrews 1:10-12
