“Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or as His counselor has informed Him? With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge and informed Him of the way of understanding?” Isaiah 40:13-14 God’s knowledge greatly surpasses ours. In fact the Scriptures teach that God knows everything—that He is omniscient. Isaiah 53 verse 9 tells us we are unable to understand God’s ways. God possesses infinite knowledge and needs to consult no one before He acts. The weight of the world and universe falls on Him and He easily controls it all. As a revelation of God, nature reveals God’s infinite knowledge through it’s complexity and it’s majesty. Only an incredible mind can create so much wonder and beauty? Praise Him and rest in Him. Omniscents is one of God’s attributes. Click this link to learn more about God’s attributes observed in creation. Read more about the greatness of God in Isaiah 40. “For thus says the high and exalted One. Who dwells in eternity, whose name is Holy, I dwell on a high and holy place, And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite.” Isaiah 57:15 God dwells in eternity. He lives outside of time and creation, in a place outside our comprehension. He transcends the Universe and all of creation. Transcendence is one of God’s attributes. God transcends time, creation and our comprehension, but do not worry. As this Bible verse tells us, Our transcendent God also chooses to enter time and space to dwell “with the contrite and lowly”. Think of the wonder in that thought! The God without limits, that nothing can contain, has chosen to dwell with you and me. God wants to walk with you and spend time with you. Be blessed knowing that God who can live everywhere and do anything chooses to spend time with you. Read all of Isaiah 57.

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 devotional 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!
