Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. We decided to make one of our road trips an adventure through North and South Dakota. I called it our trip through the wilderness. After traveling through the prairies and badlands of North Dakota I learned to see beauty in these places so very different from my mountains. However I was glad when we headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota. While there were still bare rock spires and pinnacles, there were trees again, beautiful golden aspens and cottonwoods and dark evergreens from whence the Black Hills gets it name.
One of the trails we hiked in Custer State Park was the Cathedral Spires Trails. The name made me think of all the magnificent cathedrals I have seen in my travels both in America and Europe. As we started the trail and looked up around the first corner I understood the name of the trail. The high pinnacles of the rock formations reminded me of all of the great cathedrals I had seen but none of those were as awe-inspiring as this one. Maybe it was because I suddenly remembered that it was a Sunday or that we had traveled through the prairies and badlands for so long, but I trembled and cried at the splendor of these cathedral spires surrounded by golden Aspen trees that only God could make. It was a true moment of worship for me. I was in a holy place made by the great Creator God, the same God who made the wilderness made these Cathedral Spires. I am grateful for the times of splendor and worship I have experienced in both places. Prayer Great Creator God Thank you for all the holy places you have made for us in your world. Open our eyes and hearts to you splendor. Amen
