This image of the frozen falls makes me think of The Bible which happens to be the most printed book worldwide. Many people own one or more copies. Most people, including myself, have not read the entire book.
God's Word is just like these frozen falls. Both are so vibrant that any time spent there makes one feel so full of life. Anyone can see the beauty on the surface but, it takes contemplation to be able to see and hear the vibrancy beneath.
I have called myself a Christian for most of my life. I believe in the one true, Triune God. I believe that Jesus incarnate came down from heaven in order to sacrifice Himself for all people.
But I distinctly remember a life changing moment when I realized that what I thought I knew about God and life was not true. This moment came while reading the bible with a friend while we talked together over the phone. I was astonished to discover the truth I found in the bible was not what I had believed for so many years!
I contemplated, What else do I think I know that is actually contrary to the truth found in the bible?
So, I started to read and study my bible. And just as promised, God revealed truth to me. The more time I spent contemplating God's Word, the more I could hear the life giving water. The more I could experience the peace of His love.
One of the truths about His peace and love that He revealed to me is the reason why I observe the seventh day Sabbath. After creating the heavens, the earth, and everything on it, God rested on the seventh day and made it holy. Later, when He gave the ten commandments to His people, He said Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. I don't know about you, but the first thing that caught my attention was the word REMEMBER. Funny how God knew that we would someday forget.
So, I am looking forward to next Sabbath. God willing I will return to my favorite place to contemplate God's goodness. I look forward to resting in God's love and peace.

I pray that you will find peace in God's love as well. If you want to know more about the Sabbath rest, here is a link about God's day of rest.
