Mr. T has been doing a lot of walking lately, with the idea of building up his endurance to do some hiking this summer. Yesterday, he had the opportunity to take a hike up a local mountain. He got some great photos of Newfound Lake. Since his pictures are wonderful reminders of God's power in creation, I thought I'd share them with my readers. Enjoy!
"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God." (Psalm 90:2)
"I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, ... the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together." (Isaiah 41:18-19)
"Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars ... Let them praise the name of the LORD: for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven." (Psalm 148:9, 13)
"Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, Thou preservest man and beast." (Psalm 36:6)
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)
"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even for ever." (Psalm 125:2)
"By terrible things in righteousness wilt Thou answer us, O God of our
salvation; Who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of
them that are afar off upon the sea; Which by His strength setteth fast
the mountains, being girded with power." (Psalm 65:5-6)
Hope these photos and Scriptures are a blessing to someone today!
Oh yes! So perfect! The scriptures go along with your photos wonderfully! I love that! And I love seeing the beauty from God's mountaintops! Living here in Florida we don't get to see the heights of the mountains anymore, and I miss them. Thank you for sharing this with us. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pamela! It was a really enjoyable post to write! I had a wonderfully encouraging time as I chose the verses to include.
DeleteStunning photos. I miss mountain hiking since my move to Florida nearly 3 years ago. Pictures like this are a balm to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara. The scenery was not picture perfect that day (leafless trees, sporadic sun) but he did get some great photos. I'm so happy that these pictures could be a balm to you.
DeleteThe pictures are beautiful and match the verses match the scenery beautifully. He will answer us and make us better for all of the troubles. Being outside this spring has been so good for me. I have enjoyed every moment because I know the long hot summer will be here before I know it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful thoughts, Sandy. He will indeed answer us and and bring something good out of this trouble. It will be exciting to watch Him work!
DeleteOh, I loved how you paired these beautiful mountain pictures with Scripture, dear Mrs T. ♥ I especially love Psalm 121...it was one of the first passages I read in the Bible after learning to read all by myself. {{smiles}}
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you.
That is sweet, Kelly-Anne! Psalm 121 is a very meaningful Scripture passage to me, also. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
