“They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.” 145:11-12 The Bible speaks of God’s mighty acts. When we read through its pages we can read about the great things God did in the past. The ancient Hebrew people were witnesses to these acts. But how do we experience His mighty acts today. We may not see Him part the Red Sea, bring down fire from heaven or instantly calm a stormy sea, but we can still see Him work in our life and in the lives around us. And if we still fail to see His mighty works there, we can look at His creation. Many wonders of creation like mountains, are glorious powerful and majestic. How much more glorious, powerful and majestic is their Creator! Read all of Psalm 145 and be blessed. Don’t miss a daily photo and verse.

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed… He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them.” Psalm 2:1-2, 4 See the the tiny cars on the road below the mountains in this photo? They make for a great metaphor of how the nations compare to God’s endless power. The nations rage and the rulers of this world plot, scheme and proclaim their power. The people talk about race and say, “Mine is Superior and you are inferior.” But God laughs at them all and says, “How silly you act. I control the universe. Submit to Me now or you will submit to Me later.” Praise our God who rules and reigns! Read about God’s plan for the nations in Psalm 2. He will give them to Jesus!

In the haunt of jackals, its resting place, grass becomes reeds and rushes.” Isaiah 35:8 In Isaiah 34 the prophet writes of God’s judgment falling on the nations surrounding Israel. God’s judgement is harsh, but we can praise Him. His judgement does not fall in a vacuum. The following chapter, Isaiah 35, brings hope in the message of God’s redemption. Just like a refreshing pool of pure water brings revival and satisfaction to those who are thirsty, God’s redemption brings revival and satisfaction to our lives. Read more at Isaiah 35.

“Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns & spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father.” Ephesians 5:19-20 Flowers make melody to the Lord through their beauty. The Bible call us to always give thanks and to make melody in our hearts to the Lord. Giving thanks is one way we can make a melody to Him. A grateful heart sings and a heart filled with gratefulness has no room for anger, discontentment nor jealously. Through our gratefulness we honor God. Read all of Ephesians 5.

A Different Kind of Bible Verse of the Day
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 passage help you to see these qualities of God reveled through His creation.

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!
