Musings about Water and Waterfalls
“O Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
--A song of praise
Psalm 8
This week we have a specific focus for our devotions, water and waterfalls.
On Tuesday I told you about Athabasca Falls, a powerful waterfall in Alberta, Canada. As you journey north from the falls toward Jasper, Alberta there is a white water rafting business. During our holiday, my wife's brothers decided they would experience the white waters. (My wife and I opted for horseback riding!) Recently we received a CD of their trip. Water, water everywhere! Smiling faces indicated the great joy the trip created.
Majestic doesn’t seem a powerful enough description for the awe I felt as they told of their excursion! Personally, I thought our ride on the mountain trail was pretty majestic! Yet, listening to their stories I could sense their water experience was more energizing than our ride on the trail horses. Their stories seemed to resonate these words: “O Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
Today I will not ride a horse, nor will I board a raft on journey down a river. But, in these few moments of devotion I will journey with the pictures and the stories of a day spent rafting on the Athabasca River. And, I will recall the majesty of the Holy One.
