The grandeur of the Alps is something that cannot be
contained in words or even pictures – although we have several pictures form a
recent trip to Europe. On a cloudy day
it was impossible to see much of Mt. Pilatus from the base of the mountain not far from the town of Lucerne,
Switzerland. However, we decided to ride
on cable cars up two levels and a gondola the final level just for the experience. As we neared the top of the mountain we
emerged from the clouds to a beautiful sunny day. The splendor of God’s creation was unmistakable. Our experience was a great reminder to us that “The
heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1). After returning to Lucerne our response was
similar to the words the psalmist used to conclude the Psalm, “May these words of
my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight Lord, my
Rock and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14).Friday, May 10, 2013
