Everlasting Rock

Isaiah 26:4 and a Mountain and Middle Cathedral Lake, Wind River Wilderness, Wyoming.

Bible Verse of the Day: Mountain and Middle Cathedral Lake, Wind Rivers Wilderness, Wyoming and Isaiah 26:4. "For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock."“Trust in the Lord forever, for in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.” Isaiah 26:4

One Everlasting Rock

On earth many things come and go. Nothing last forever. Even the mountains, solid and strong, have a beginning and end. Only God does not crumble, fall or fade away.

God forever stands stable and strong. He is the One we can forever rely on. He is our everlasting Rock.

Springs of Salvation

Isaiah 12:3-4 and Redrock Falls, Glacier National Park, Montana.Redrock Falls surrounded by the mountains Glacier National Park, Montana and Isaiah 12:3-4. Springs of Salvation

“Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.” Isaiah 12:3-4

God’s Springs of Salvation

Many times the Bible use the imagery of water as a metaphor for God’s salvation. Water cleans and refreshes us, as well as gives us life. When we look at creation the way God intends us to look at it (with Psalm 104 Eyes), we see how it points us to His goodness. As Pastor Steven L. Diehl says in his book Beyond Green, “The created world around us is a front-seat window exhibit of the amazing creativity of the God of the universe. Creation is to be enjoyed and appreciated in a contagious way.”

The Feelings of a Very Good Creation

Genesis 1:31 and Rolling Hills, Custer State Park, South Dakota.Rolling hills with wild flowers and scattered pine trees in Custer State Park, South Dakota. Bible Verse of the Day: Genesis 1:31, God's very good creation

 “God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.” Genesis 1:31

The Peace of a Very Good Creation

My family and I like to camp and visit outdoor places. One summer we camped in the Black Hills of South Dakota. During our stay we took an evening drive to view the bison herds in Custer State Park. We saw plenty of them (see the below photos)!

What caught my attention more than the bison was the beauty of the rolling hills in the evening light. Their subtle beauty reminded me of God calling His creation “very good” in Genesis 1:31. In the original Hebrew a very good creation meant that the appearance of God’s creation was very aesthetically pleasing and brought deep feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.

On that summer evening we found creation to be very pleasing and satisfying. It brought delight to our souls.

A few of the bison photos I shot that evening.

Spiritual Water from Spiritual Springs

Isaiah 49:10 and Leaves in a Stream, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina.Water drips of leaves in a small steam, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and Isaiah 49:10 Bible verse Springs of water

“They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down; For He who has compassion on them will lead them and will guide them to springs of water.” Isaiah 49:10

Spiritual Springs

In the presence of our Lord we find springs of water that refresh and restore our souls. The water that Christ gives is different from all other water. It’s spiritual water. This spiritual living water flows from Christ through those who believe. The Bible calls us to drink of this water to experience eternal life in Jesus.

Isaiah 49 is about God’s redemption. Read more here.
