As we awoke today, we saw a brilliant light in the fields behind our farmhouse. It was not an appartition, nor a UFO nor a burning bush... It was simply the sunrise over our farm here in Australia on this, the 13th day of June in the year of our Lord 2000 A.D.

The frosty conditions of the night had left a fog over the land and the light of the Sun shone through the "lonesome tree" at the north end of our small pond. A small dove sat on the railing around the lonesome tree....

The brilliance of the light which we could not look at directly shot through the tree's branches....

Swirls of fog were illuminated and textured by the light and the shadows of the branches which fell upon the still waters between us and the light....

And, our feet stood in the shadowed, green pasture between us and the still waters....

As we pondered this mystical scene, several scriptures from the Bible came to mind See what comes to mind for you when you look upon the big picture above:

PSALMS 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

PSALMS 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

PSALMS 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

PSALMS 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

PSALMS 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

PSALMS 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

 

MATTHEW 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

MATTHEW 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

 

1CORINTHIANS 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
