Encouragement and God’s Promises
Isaiah 49:13
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Zechariah 1:17
“Proclaim further: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.’”
All Creatures of Our God and King
“Art is man’s nature: nature is God’s art” ~ Philip James Bailey
“At home with Nature, and one with God!” ~ Florence Earle Coates
“Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.” ~ William Cooper
“The man who can really, in living union of mind and heart, converse with God through nature, finds in the material forms around him, a source of power and happiness inexhaustible, and like the like of angels. The highest life and glory of man is to be alive unto God; and when this grandeur of sensibility of Him, and this power of communion with Him is carried, as the habit of the soul, into the forms of nature, then the walls of our world are as the gates of heaven.” ~ George B. Cheever
