The Heavens Declare the Glory of God


Josh and I just got back from one of our favorite places- Yosemite National Park. We stay up in Tuolumne meadows, a little off the beaten path, and love the majesty and splendor of this place. While there we hiked to Gaylor Lakes and were blown away by the beauty of these glacial lakes. While we were hiking we talked about how so many people simply drive through Yosemite, sticking to a few popular trails, and miss out on the true grandeur that Yosemite has to offer. They only see the smallest glimpse of its beauty As I thought about this it struck me that as believers, that is how this world is for us. As beautiful as Yosemite is, it is but the smallest glimmer of what the beauty of heaven will be like. My human mind cannot imagine a place more beautiful than Yosemite, but I know it is just a glimpse of the beauty of God's glory and creation that will surround us in heaven!
