The Beauty of the Lord

I have asked one thing from the LORD; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the LORD and seeking him in his temple. Psalms 27:4 CSB

The beauty of the Lord in His amazing creation, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

My daughter and I met up in Denver for a “mother-daughter” weekend. We went hiking a couple of days and to a concert at Red Rocks. This verse from a Psalm by David came to mind as we spent time in God’s amazing creation and marveled at the beauty.

I love the word, “dwell” in this verse. Dwell means to sit and stay, abide, remain, and reside. As we walked and explored God’s created world, we were beckoned to stay awhile and gaze at the formations and mountains, the beauty of the Lord in all that He has made.

I pause now in my writing because no words can convey the beauty of the Lord in His creation as well as the pictures. So, enjoy the beauty of the Lord!

These photos are from our hike at Garden of the gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

These photos and the following are from our time at Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.

This week, seek and find the beauty of the Lord in your own special part of His created world.

I thank God for each of you! And I thank you for joining me this week as we dwell and gaze on the beauty of Lord in creation.

Blessings and joy in the beauty of the Lord!

  1. Beautiful words and photos, Peggy. I’m glad you had a good trip to Colorado. It’s been years since I visited Rocky Mountain National Park. I’ve never been to Garden of the Gods. Colorado is a gorgeous state (including my area down in the southwest corner). It’s always a pleasure to read your thoughts. Wonderful stuff, my friend! 🙂

    • Thank you so much, Mike, for your kind words and your support! I appreciate you, my friend. Colorado was incredibly beautiful! I think I took about a hundred pictures. I would love to go back again someday and see more of it. Blessings, Mike!
