Happy Belated Earth Day!

I know I'm one day late on this blog, but I still want to share with you some pictures of places and things on our beautiful planet that make me want to give God the longest bear hug EVER.



"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it. The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke. By his power he churned up the sea.... By his breath the skies become fair.... And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! How then can we understand the thunder of his power?" (Job 26:7-9, 11-14)

"How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-living things both large and small." (Psalm 104:24-25)




"The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon has another beauty, and the stars have another. And each star is different in it's beauty."
(1 Corinthians 15:41)





"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours."
(1 Chronicles 29:11)




"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." (John 1:3)




"My whole being, praise the Lord, Lord my God, you are very great. You are clothed with glory and majesty; you wear light like a robe. You stretch out the skies like a tent. You build your room above the clouds. You make the clouds your chariot, and you ride on the wings of the wind. You make the wind your messengers, and flames of fire are your servants." (Psalms 104:1-4)




"You are the Lord, you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. To all of them you give life..." (Nehemiah 9:6)




"Who has cut a channel for the torrents of rain, and a way for the thunderbolt, to bring rain on a land where no one lives, on the desert, which is empty of human life, to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground put forth grass?" (Job 38:25-27)




"But ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being." (Job 12:7-10)





"There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman." (Proverbs 30:18-19)



And, so....
"You shall not pollute the land in which you live... you shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell."
(Numbers 35:33-34)


Recycle! Conserve energy! Do what you can!

Don't you just love the Earth?
