Waterfalls in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Waterfalls

Creation points to God; it declares its Creator.  Waterfalls, as part of creation, point to God.

Waterfalls point to God’s beauty.  The cascading water sparkling in the light is a reflection of God’s beauty.

Waterfalls point to God’s power.  The deafening roar of the thundering water speaks of God’s great power.

Waterfalls also point to God’s infiniteness.  Each waterfall is different – different heights, different widths, different angles of descent, different rocks, different cascades.  I’ve never seen two waterfalls the same.  Each one is a new sight to behold.  And so it is with God.  There is always a new beauty to behold, a new manifestation of his power.  We will never exhaust the depths of God.
