Adirondack Mountains - “Find Rest in the Shadow of the Almighty “

 

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.   This I declare about the Lord : He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.   For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.   He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.   Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.   Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.   Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.   Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

Psalm 91:1-8

Milford Sound, New Zealand - “The Sun Has Long Been Set”

 Psalm 113:3

From the rising of the sun to its setting

The name of the Lord is to be praised.

“The Sun has Long been Set”

By William Wordsworth 

The sun has long been set,
  The stars are out by twos and threes,
The little birds are piping yet
  Among the bushes and trees;
There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,
And a far-off wind that rushes,
And a sound of water that gushes,
And the cuckoo's sovereign cry
Fills all the hollow of the sky.
  Who would "go parading"
In London, "and masquerading,"
On such a night of June
With that beautiful soft half-moon, 
And all these innocent blisses?
On such a night as this is!

Abrams Creek Waterfall - “My Soul Finds Rest in God”

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. 

Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. 

How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down— this leaning wall, this tottering fence? 

Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. 

Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
