It's important for us to get outside and connect with God. It doesn't matter if we're taking photographs, camping, backpacking, kayaking or we just going for a walk. What's important is that we spend time with God and connect with Him, even if we don't get some specific revelation or direction for our life. It's just good to be outside drawing near to God.

So much distract us in life and prevents us from drawing near to God and finding peace, rest and satisfaction. But what if there was a bridge to connect with God and find that peace. Spiritual photography can be that bridge.

When doing nature photography we can ask a question, "What does this tell me about God?" Sometimes when we look into the woods it seems to go on forever and that can remind us of the depths of God. There's no end to God. He's rich and deep and eternal and infinite. Even and eternity will continue to learn about God.

Usually I discuss outdoor photography and either the technical or spiritual aspects of it. I believe nature photography can help us draw near to God, but getting outside in general is a great way to connect with God. Jumping on your bike and hitting a local bike trail is another way to connect with God in the outdoors.

When we're out photographing nature, it's good to think about what the different things in nature tell us about God. So what do mulberries tell us about God?

When we explore the world as nature photographers we can draw closer to God if we think about what our subject tells about God. Even something as an old log tells us something about God. In this video, I look at just what an old log can tell us about God.

Getting outside is a great way to draw near to you God and discovers his peace. It gets us away from the noise and pressures of this world. And when we're outside we discover the sweet sounds of nature, the greatest orchestra ever. It's creations Orchestra---God's Orchestra. https://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/draw-near-to-god/

Martin Luther said, "God did not write the promise of the resurrection and books alone, but in every leaf of springtime." Spring is creation's season of renew when the nature experiences a mini resurrection. Nature reveals clues about his creator and God is a God of resurrection and renewal. Spring reminds us of these qualities of God. Check out my website: https://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/ Photographers visit https://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/draw-near-to-god/

The Bible tells us to wait on the Lord. Well, what does that mean?

In 1 Corinthians 15 the Apostle Paul writes about how when a seed dies and gets buried in the ground it goes on to new life. He relates this to the resurrection of the dead. I used photographs of spinach plants seedlings to illustrate a devotion about this passage on my website. https://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/

Do you ever need just to get out? I do. And in this video I just needed to get outside to be away in nature. This time I didn't even bring my camera. Often It's just good to get away and be with God in His creation.

Spring weather comes and goes throughout the season. Sometimes it feels like God's presence comes and goes, but the Bible tells us He's with us always.

Between Jesus feeding the 5000 and walking on water there is the forgotten Bible verse of Mark 7:46. It simply tells us that Jesus left everyone and went alone to the mountain to pray. Why did Jesus do that? Why did the gospel writers tell us that he did it?

As a nature photographer sometimes I find there's a lot of things in the way between my subject and my camera that clutters up the shot. In life there's a lot of things they get in the way and clutter up our relationship with God. We need to put away to the clutter and spend more time with God.

Everyone needs to experience their own beautiful moments with God. He gives each one of us our moments if we take the time to be alone with Him. Spending time outside in nature provides an excellent opportunity to experience beautiful moments with God.
