My Back Yard – Today!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
– Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

When I took these photos today in my back yard I wasn’t planning on a post, I just happened to have my camera out and looked up!  I spent much of the day outside enjoying the beautiful weather.  Later, the thought came to me that the beauty of nature is a perfect backdrop for Easter weekend and the celebration of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
– Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
– Matthew 6:25-30 (NKJV)

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
– Colossians 1:27 (NIV)
