A Sunday hike

My sister, nephew and I took a nice hike last Sunday. We walked along an old Railroad Bed that has been converted in to a trail for hikers, bikers, snowmobilers, ATV riders and the equestrian types. I don't like to ride horses, don't have a bike or ATV, and the snow was melted. So we walked. It really was beautiful. Since I am not addicted to shopping at malls, it is great to have great hiking available around here.

We paused along the way and contemplated 12 different passages of scripture having to do with the great outdoors in one way or another. Here are a few of them (from the NLT):


Job 12:7-10   “Ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish of the sea speak to you. They all know that the LORD has done this. For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of all humanity.


Psalms 42:1   As the deer pants for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.


Romans 1:20 From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.

And just because I was in the mood I threw this one in the mix: Genesis 27:3 Take your bow and a quiver full of arrows out into the open country, and hunt some wild game for me. (Hmm, am I allowed to take this out of context and call it a commandment?)
