The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands

As the seasons change, God’s majesty is revealed in new ways, continually reminding us of Him. That majesty leads us to “join with all nature in manifold witness, to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.”
We’ve enjoyed some wonderful fall days here in Colorado, and we thought we’d share the beauty and majesty of God’s handiwork. Enjoy!
Isaiah 55:12: “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Ecclesiastes 3:1: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
Psalm 145:5: On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
Romans 1:20: For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.
Psalm 96:12: Let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy!
