What A Mighty God We Serve

What a Mighty God We Serve

We've been blogging about the first reality of experiencing God: GOD IS ALWAYS AT WORK AROUND US, and it is fitting that I share these verses with you:

Come, let us shout JOYFULLY to the Lord,
Shout triumphantly to the ROCK of our salvation!
Let us enter HIS gates with thanksgiving;
Let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.
For the Lord is a great God,

a great King ABOVE all gods.
The depths of the earth are in HIS hands,
and the mountain peaks are HIS.
The sea is HIS; He made it.
His hands formed the dry land!


Come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,

And we are the sheep of His pasture,
the sheep under His care. (Psalm 95:1-7)

I am writing to you from Seward, Alaska. 16 of our Keswick friends have joined us on a 12-day tour of Alaska. We have witnessed some of the most amazing views of God's creative hand! I have seen mountains that just take our breath away.

We have seen two grizzly bears (from a distance), doll sheep, a snow-hare rabbit, several moose, and most of all, we were eye-witnesses to Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America.

What has been amazing is that God literally peeled back the clouds for us to see Mt. McKinley for several hours. Only 30% of Alaska's visitors have seen the mountain because of cloud covering.

On Tuesday we were in Denali National Park and had a 365 degree panoramic view of some amazing mountains. I said to a couple traveling with us, "I would love to just stand here and sing, HOW GREAT THOU ART! Guess what? We did.

Our great God is the God of creation. He is still creating! He is creating all of this for HIS glory and our enjoyment. I wish I could share all my pictures with you. If you have FACEBOOK, invite me to be your friend so you can enjoy them.

Thank You, Lord, for giving us this amazing glimpse of your glory! -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
