And the Trees shall clap their hands

"You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands. " Isaiah 55:12
Last week I went camping in the Lake Wenatchee area. Despite the heat and mosquitoes, I had a great time exploring and finding fun things to take pictures of. In the past I would have never really considered myself a camper/hiker person, but the more I do it, the more I realize how much I love being in the middle of God's creation! Everything is a different shape, color, and size and it's all made by the hand of God Himself.

So please remember how great and majestic our God is while you look at these pictures.
  If he can orchestrate the shape of a leaf and the birth of a tiny acorn, then how much more will He take care of us?!?


He can even bring new life from something that was thought to be dead and discarded.

Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise his name;

proclaim his salvation day after day
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;

let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.

Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy...
(Psalm 96: 1-2, 11-12)
