Revelations 21:1-3
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14
Psalm 23:4 NIV
John 20:29 NRSV
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.

Nothing compares to the weather changes driving across the Rocky Mountains: Thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning; a hail storm and then snow and as we changed elevations sleet started falling and then calm at the lower elevations.

"Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or forsake us. May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in obedience to him and keep the commands, decrees and laws he gave our ancestors
1 Kings 8:54-58 NIV
Fort Matanzas Beach: Hurricane winds and waves washed away the sand dunes and destroyed the vegetation. Nature is coming back; the flowers, shrubbery, vines, wildlife are thriving once again.
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and revoked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
Matthew 8:24-27 NIV
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
Jeremiah 17:5,7 CEB
Do not be deceased: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:7-10 NIV
When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. As soon as they had brought them out one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!"
But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please! Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can't flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I'll die. Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Le me flee to it--it is very small, isn't it? then my life will be spared."
He said to him, "Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it." (that is why the town was called Zoar.)
By the tie Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities--and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:15-22 NIV
Amos 4:13
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.
Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in Heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
Matthew 10:29-34 NIV
