Lift up your eyes on high

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things. Isaiah 40:26

Photo taken 2/4/2010: more from the evening walk. This photo is very similar to the one posted previously, but the verse from Isaiah was part of my morning reflection and it led me to look at the group of photos from that evening.

In this morning’s entry, Oswald Chambers in “My Utmost for His Highest” writes:

“If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in Nature. In every wind that blows, in every night and day of the year, in every sign of the sky, in every blossoming and in every withering of the earth, there is a real coming of God to us if we will simply use our starved imagination to realize it.”

My next reading from Andrew Murray’s “Mighty is His Hand” had a similar theme of God in everything:

Accept with gratitude everything that God allows to come into your life. I mean all things – whether from the world without, or attacks from within; whether from friend or enemy; in nature or in grace.

Hmmm

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things. Isaiah 40:26

Amen!

Be still

Still water, so still that without the perspective of the shoreline there was that illusion that it was possible to fall into the sky.

Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

I can’t help but think of that verse when standing at this point on the lake on a day like this day.

Be peaceful, be quiet, be still.
