“Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.” Psalm 63:2. King David of the Bible encountered God in the wilderness and called it a sanctuary of God. Today we can still find rest, peace and God in the sanctuary of His creation. The mountain and lake pictured in the above photo are named Cathedral Peak and Cathedral Lake. Since Cathedral is the lake’s name and the mountain’s name I titled the photo “God’s Cathedral”. We can surely sense God’s power, glory and omnipresence while in nature. Read all of Psalm 63. “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.” Psalm 89:11 Praise the Lord! The Bible says that the earth is the Lord’s. He created it with beauty, majesty and power. He takes pleasure in His creation and wants us to do the same. Thank you God, for the majesty and beauty in the natural world. Read all of Psalm 89. It speaks of the greatness of God as Creator. “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15. The Bible tells us God is omnipresent. Simply put, He is everywhere. Our Heavenly Father does not live in a physical body confined to one location. He is able to walk closely with all who believe. He is with each one of us always. It doesn’t matter where you are. He is near. Read all of Genesis 28 and be encouraged by Jacob’s encounter with God in the wilderness. Don’t miss a daily photo and verse. Sign up for our email. God’s Sanctuary and Cathedral

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.
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!
