Rejoice, You Earth!

Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. — Isaiah 49:13

Here is the pond outside my work. What a beautiful, relaxing place to walk, sit, and contemplate our great God.

The waterfall makes a soothing sound, and the birds that gather enjoy the cool water.

God comforts us when we grieve.

He has compassion on us when we feel afflicted and worn out. 

He gives me the strength to shout for joy and burst into song.
