I wanted to share some more pictures of moments I captured during my time in New Mexico over the Christmas holiday. Even more so, however, I want to share them in light of the truth they so purely display.
I have been very pressed to focus on that more lately. So...I've been making a more intentional effort to dwell upon what is good, true, and life-giving.
These images remind me of the ultimate Truth- that the heavens and all the beauty on earth tell of the loving, creative, and wonderful God....and He deserves praise! Below is a passage that I love-poetic and beautiful-stating just that.
Breathtaking scene...the view from our hike near my old home. I miss those mountains!
"The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the works of His hands.
Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are their words; their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterance to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
It's rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward."
Psalm 19:1-11
So delicate...so beautiful, this little flower (or pod- I'm not sure what it is..?)
