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.

Scripture:
For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalm 62:1-2 About This Image: I had seen this tree many times on trips to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains, but not until this day in the fog did I see its beauty. It is in a field where the horses graze at the beginning of the loop road and I usually rush by to get to more scenic views. This morning the loop road was closed to all but walkers and bicyclists. The fog covered all the business of the field that I usually see and because we were walking, there was no rushing. It was so quiet and still. It is not easy to be still and wait, especially in silence, in our busy world. To wait in silence requires trust in a God who is stronger than you, who loves you with a steadfast love. Silence, an inner stillness, peace, only come when we put our focus on God. It can't be achieved any other way. |
