I absolutely love photography. Other than playing my guitar and singing, there really isn’t another thing I really enjoy doing more. I have been quite the shutterbug for a while now. I love to take my camera with me just about everywhere I go – hiking, on a bike ride, on a drive in the car – you get the picture (Haha! No pun intended) There is not a single person on this earth who sees exactly the same way I do through my lens. I love to capture photos of extraordinary things as well as all the ordinary things. There is beauty all around us, if you look hard enough! I am pretty sure God designed it that way! Beauty can be found in a mountainous landscape, a waterfall, and a flower, but it can also be found in a rusty old barn and an abandoned church. The earth is filled with beauty! As someone recently pointed out about my photography, it is like capturing the voice of God saying “Be still and know that I am God!” In Psalm 19, David writes this;
“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or a word, their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth and their words to all the world…” (1-4)
It is pretty clear to me that God has created everything we see around us. All of it designed to show his power and his glory. This even includes us! Everything was created for a reason and with a purpose – to point us back to our Almighty God – Creator and Artist of all that is in the world! Take some time to stop and smell the roses (or another flower). Take in the breath-taking beauty of a sunset or sit under a willow tree and feel the gentle breeze. If you listen quietly, you may even hear a voice saying; “Be still and know that I am God!”
