Scripture:
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 About This Image: To capture a sunrise like this one in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park you must get up and be in place before the sunrise, set up your tripod and camera, and wait. And then it happens, the sun rises over the horizon and it is thrilling. All your work and waiting pays off when you see the sun come over the horizon. It is so magnificent that it takes your breath away and for me my eyes fill with tears to see such beauty. This is especially true if you can get somewhere there aren't any man-made lights and it is really dark. Our world, filled with man made lights, often masks the light of the glory of God. We put ourselves in the spotlight and loose sight of the glory of God. Get up early one morning and go to a place where it is really dark, and as the sun rises be reminded that God has given us "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Scripture:
The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:8 About This Image: This Bible was left in the Baptist church in Cades Cove. I don't know who left it there or how long it had been there. When I saw it I thought about all the many different Bibles that had been opened by people worshiping in the pews of this church throughout the years. So I opened it to the Psalms and took its picture on one of the pews. God's word has come in many forms throughout the ages - oral tradition, hand-written scrolls, illuminated manuscripts, printed books, and digital files. No matter what form I use to read God's radiant commands, it gives light to my eyes. And it is this light from God's word that helps me see God in his world. |
