“Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” Psalm 90:2 (NKJV) To be in Denali National Park at sunrise cannot help but make one’s thoughts turn to God. The vastness,… the solitude,… the silence… gave me a overwhelming sense of being utterly alone with Jesus by my side, watching the first light of dawn illuminate the peaks. The snow covered grandeur of 22,310 ft. Denali inspires you to praise Him, the Creator of all, proclaiming Him “Lord of All”. Read about the greatness of God Psalm 90. Thank you John, for the photo, verse and your thoughts. John lives in Colorado. You can see more of his photography at at Vast Photos. The photo and devotion text are copyright © John Freeman. You too can be guest photographer. “For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.” Psalm 97:9 During biblical times each nation made up their own gods. There were the gods of the Philistines, the gods of Egyptians and so on. But these man made gods were only the gods of one nation or people. By contrast Yahweh, the God of Israel, claimed to be the God above all gods and all nations would someday worship Him. For no one is greater than Him and He is our God. He is the Lord Most High. Just as the mountains tower above the landscape below, God greatness rises far above any fictitious deity created by mortal men. Be encourage by all of Psalm 97. Don’t miss a daily photo and verse.

A Different Kind of Bible Verse of the Day
Welcome to the Visual Bible Verse of the Day. My name is Pasquale Mingarelli. Six days a week I post a Scripture verse or passage along with a picture of nature. The two together work to encourage people through God’s Word and God’s creation. I desire to reach people around the world with this daily Bible verse and creation photo so they may know the greatness and goodness of God.
As an outdoor photographer I spend a lot of time outside. I enjoy spending time in nature even when I’m not taking pictures. My family and I like to go for walks or hikes to enjoy the beauty of just being outside. Often, I bring along my Bible and a journal to reflect about God during a hike or walk. As a result, I have learned that God speaks to us through His creation and the creation speaks to us about God.
The Bible tells us that creation reveals many of God’s attributes (Romans 1:20 and Psalm 19). Through nature we see God’s power, transcendence, majesty, glory, beauty, provision and so much more. May these pictures and daily Bible devotional help you to see these qualities of God reveled through His creation.
Ways to receive The Visual Bible Verse of the Day
The Visual Bible Verse of the Day comes to you free of charge. You can visit this site daily or sign up to receive the Scripture verses and pictures by email. What’s nice is that you can control how often you receive The Visual Bible Verse of the Day. When you visit the free subscription you’ll see several options. The first one allows people to receive the Scripture verse and picture daily. But for those who want to limit the quantity of emails I offer a three day a week option and a two day a week option. We also produce a Bible Verse of the Day for mobile devices.
A little Bit About Me
Before jumping into nature photography I worked as a newspaper photographer and then joined the missionary organization Campus Crusade for Christ (now called Cru). I worked as a photojournalist with Campus Crusade’s magazine,Worldwide Challenge. While working with the magazine, I had photo assignments in seven different countries and 24 different states. Traveling and photographing in the U.S. and internationally, gave me a wealth of knowledge and experience about life, people, and culture.
Today, I work as full-time freelance photographer, teach photography part-time and work as creation speaker. But as a result of my days with Campus Crusade, I still have a heart and passion for ministry. I want to bless people through my photography and Bible verse of the day. I hope you enjoy this site! Finally, I encourage you to get outside to enjoy God’s creation and dig into God’s Word daily. Blessings!
