Scripture and a Snapshot ~ 19

"As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind."
2 Kings 2:11

I watch the sky
 in late and dying day
as clouds of colour move fluidly
 changing hue and form so fast
that if I turn away to duller things I'd miss it in a moment..
the flame of my vesper candle
illuminating fire
of heaven's glory
spilling down to sing the evensong with me
 Trish

    Trish, I've said it before, but I'd love to come visit to capture some of the beauty of where you live! I've never seen a sunset like that, and your verse is a perfect choice. I also am reminded of the Lord's return one day. Beautiful!

    Blessings,
    Christine

    Trish,

    I like the photograph. I love how the sky looks when a storm has passed, or when a storm is about to brew. I took some picutres a few months ago of the sky after a storm, and the colors are very vivid and bright. I should probably post them sometime.

    I enjoyed the scripture you shared, as well as your poetic words.

    One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible...for God to just take Elijah up in a whirlwind to heaven...what a visual, how awesome, what Powerful God we serve!
    The picture shows it well...I can just see that chariot in going up in the sky
