When I Consider...

When I consider your

heavens


















































the work of your fingers



























































the moon and the stars,

which you have set in

place
























what is man that you are

mindful of him





















the son of man that you

care for him?






















PSALM 8:3-4




It has been a while since I've participated in Monday Manna. When I read the verse for this week, several of my photos came to mind, so I decided to illustrate the verse instead of expound on it. After all, "a picture is worth a thousand words," right?

I am often reminded of this verse when I am out experiencing God's creation. It fills me with a sense of awe, as well as thankfulness that I can boldly approach the throne of our great God, creator of the universe, knowing that He knows and loves me intimately. Why does He love me? Because of who He is, not because of anything I could ever do! Simply incomprehensible!

For more thoughts on this verse, visit Joanne's blog, An Open Book.

  6. Wonderful photos! I, too, sense God's goodness and power most clearly when I look at the beauty of His creation. I would hate to be an atheist, even if its repercussions were only for this life. How much joy they deprive themselves of!
