					<description><![CDATA[Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws. &#8211; Psalm 147:18 NLT On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, &#8220;Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from the heart of anyone who believes in me. &#8211; John 7:37-38 NLT As I mentioned in an earlier post, most people living in colder climates have experienced water in three forms – liquid, solid (ice), and gas &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:21 KJV Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.&#160; Jeremiah 33:3 Most of you know that despite living their entire lives in water, whales are not classified as fish, but as mammals. Whale sightings are a bit unusual for someone who lives in the inland mountains, so managing to get a picture &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Through the LORD&#8217;s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities&#8211;his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Romans 1:20 NLT Not too long ago I chatted with someone who told me he did not believe there is a God. I appreciated his honesty. So, I asked him what he thinks when he looks outside &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens? For the water turns to ice as hard as rock, and the surface of the water freezes. Job 38:29-30 NLT Almost everything contracts when frozen. Water, (H2O), however, is one of the few substances that actually expands when it cools from a liquid to a solid. At about 39º F, water expands slightly. But at 32º F, water expands quite a bit, about 9 percent of its volume. The fact that water expands when frozen is critical to life on earth. As water freezes &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. 1 Samuel 2:2 Whilst hiking near a series of waterfalls, we came across some geological formations worth remembering.&#160; The rock pictured above is basalt, which is the result of rapidly cooling lava. When things cool off, they tend to shrink. If the object is large, like say, a large, hot rock, then the cooling takes place at different rates throughout the material. This causes stress on the entire rock. There is a rather complex mathematical formula – which I &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoeverdrinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:13-14 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they mayhave life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 Water is such an amazing substance. So much of life on this planet depends on it. The ferns, moss &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in him should ponder them. Psalm 111:2 (NLT) By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen. Job 37:10 On a recent frosty morning, long before sunrise, I went outside to warm up the car and was once again treated to a spectacular glimpse into the artistry of our amazing Creator. If I had lots of time and a lot more skill, I couldn’t paint something as detailed and remarkable as this. Ice on the glass pictured above most likely formed from water vapor, &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 The very first time I saw a water ouzel, I thought I’d killed it. No kidding. Long ago I was fishing alone in a remote area in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. A medium-sized grey bird appeared very close to me, standing on a rock next to the river. He was dipping and bobbing up and down like nothing I’d ever seen before. I took a step closer to get a better look, and he bailed &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress; &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.      Isaiah 43:2 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears &#8230;]]></description>
