Hope in the Lord

I find this verse from Psalm 31 so reassuring. As long as we put our trust and hope in the Lord, then we can go on.

The photo is that of Rudbeckia, a variety of the sunflower family.

love and faithfulness

When I read this verse from Psalm 138, I was right away reminded of this photo of Gerbera daisies. They look like they are bowing.
We must indeed give thanks for the love and faithfulness of God.

The Glory of God

I think this photo and Psalm 19, go together very well. It really looks like the heavens are declaring the glory of God.

I took this sunset photo from the plane window as we were on our way to Iloilo City here in the Philippines. I love the way the sun's rays skipped over the sea of clouds.

Praise the Lord

There is so much beauty around us! I can't help but wonder at the beauty and magnificence of God's creations. This verse from Psalm 34 says it all for me as I give thanks to God for everything including my own humble existence.

The photo is a sunset scene in Zambales, Philippines. I converted it into a digital painting by using paint daubs.

Rejoice

Yes indeed, we must rejoice every new day as we marvel at the work of God! Just the mere fact that we are able to witness a new day, is enough reason to rejoice!

I took this photo from the highest part of Corregidor island as we witnessed the sun coming out and peeping through the leaves. It was such a beautiful morning and I could not help but say a prayer of thanks!

Song of Love

I'd like to sing this verse from Psalm 59:16 this morning because it simply makes me smile and give thanks for all my blessings!

The photo is that of an Oxalis flower. This flower is so small but is so pretty. I thought it fits perfectly this verse of Psalm 59.

My Soul Waits in Silence

This photo that I have taken one early morning while we were in Zambales somehow seems to fit perfectly this quote from Psalm 62:1,5. Don't you think so? 

It was so calm that day and it seems that the fisherman and I, were the only ones awake at that time. Is this man communing with God? or with the fish? or both?

The Glory of God

I took this photo from the plane window as we were flying to Iloilo City from Manila. I was lucky to get a window seat so I had fun taking photos of the clouds and the mountains underneath. I thought this photo goes well with this quote of Psalm 19:1.

Thank you God for all your wonderful creations!

The Lord is my Shepherd

In celebration of today's reading about the Good Shepherd, I am sharing this "photoquote" of Psalm 23:1

The photo is a section of the Banaue rice terraces here in the Philippines.

The whole passage is from the Psalm of David which reads:


The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths For His Name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long.
[Psalm 23:1-6; NRSV]

I got this from:  http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=2612

I also have posted before verse 4 of this whole Psalm. Here is the link to this post.

I Will Fear No Evil

This verse from Psalm 23:4 is always so comforting to me. I usually say this when I am out in the field especially when the place is not familiar to me.

The background photo shows the mountains of the Cordillera region here in the Philippines. Some of these mountains have been converted into what is known as the "Banaue Rice Terraces." I have written about the terraces in my HubPages. I also have more photos there.

By the way, cards, posters and various size prints of this is found in my RedBubble site here.

My soul thirsts for God

This is my initial post for this blog. I love collecting quotes, prayers, and even making my own phrases and putting them together with my photos. I call them as photoquotes.

This bird photo which I took a few years ago is I think just right for this quote from Psalm 42:2. What do you think?
 

I already have a hub at HubPages where I shared some of these photoquotes I created. However, I am going to place all of them here eventually, so that they are found in one place. However, if you are interested to see my other works already, here is the link: http://jill-of-alltrades.hubpages.com/hub/Motivational-Quotes-and-Photographs
