“It was You who set all the boundaries of the earth; You made both summer and winter.” Psalm 74:17 God created boundaries for the seasons and the season of winter covers much of the Northern Hemisphere. Many people don’t like winter’s cold, while others who like the outdoors take pleasure in winter’s recreational opportunities. Whether you like the season or not, it only last the time given to it by God. Spring will come soon, followed by summer. Each year the seasons come and go, but God remains in charge. Praise God! He controls everything and things happen only for their appointed time. Read all of Psalm 74 in context and be blessed. “In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.” Psalm 5:3 We can seek God at any time, but many of us find the morning to be the best time to meet with God. Those of us who love the morning sense a special peace about it, and the Bible speaks highly of the morning. The book of Psalms uses the word morning 15 times. Often it speaks of seeking or meeting God in the morning, while other verses in Psalms speak of finding God’s newness or lovingkindness in the morning. Even Jesus used the morning to meet with His Father (Mark 1:35). In the morning find a few moments to meet with God. You’ll be glad you did. Click to watch a video on the story behind this photo.

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.

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!
