“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary.” Isaiah 40:28-29a I find the troubles of this world draining. So often hope and motivation seem out of reach. Each day brings its own dose of discouragement. But give praise to God! Each and every day He brings good things. The Bible tell us He gives us strength when we are weary and I need His strength each day. Without it I feel weak. I know that without God I have nothing. I hope you find encouragement in this Scripture passage and photograph. Isaiah 40 proclaims that God never gets tired. He holds infinite power and endurance and He gives strength and rest to the weary. PS “So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.” John 6:15 The Bible tells us when the world pressed in around Him, Jesus headed to a mountains, and spent time with His Father there. Mountains and the great outdoors are a peaceful place to meet with God. Just like Jesus, to escape the things of this world, we could head into nature to seek the face of God. If you’re able bodied and have the opportunity to, I would encourage you to meet with God in His creation. But even if you cannot meet with God in nature, it is more important just to spend time with Him wherever you can. Meet with Him anywhere. We grow in our faith when find a spot alone and spend time with God. Read all of John 6. PS Psalm 102:11-12 and A Shadow on Boulders, Canyonlands National Park, Utah. “My days are like a lengthened shadow, and I wither away like grass. But You, O LORD, abide forever, and Your name to all generations.” Psalms 102:11-12 The Stability … Continue reading → Strength to the Weary

A Different Kind of Bible Verse of the Day
Welcome to the Visual Bible Verse of the Day. My name is Pasquale Mingarelli. Six days a week I post a Scripture verse or passage along with a picture of nature. The two together work to encourage people through God’s Word and God’s creation. I desire to reach people around the world with this daily Bible verse and creation photo so they may know the greatness and goodness of God.
As an outdoor photographer I spend a lot of time outside. I enjoy spending time in nature even when I’m not taking pictures. My family and I like to go for walks or hikes to enjoy the beauty of just being outside. Often, I bring along my Bible and a journal to reflect about God during a hike or walk. As a result, I have learned that God speaks to us through His creation and the creation speaks to us about God.
The Bible tells us that creation reveals many of God’s attributes (Romans 1:20 and Psalm 19). Through nature we see God’s power, transcendence, majesty, glory, beauty, provision and so much more. May these pictures and daily Bible devotional help you to see these qualities of God reveled through His creation.

A little Bit About Me
Before jumping into nature photography I worked as a newspaper photographer and then joined the missionary organization Campus Crusade for Christ (now called Cru). I worked as a photojournalist with Campus Crusade’s magazine,Worldwide Challenge. While working with the magazine, I had photo assignments in seven different countries and 24 different states. Traveling and photographing in the U.S. and internationally, gave me a wealth of knowledge and experience about life, people, and culture.
Today, I work as full-time freelance photographer, teach photography part-time and work as creation speaker. But as a result of my days with Campus Crusade, I still have a heart and passion for ministry. I want to bless people through my photography and Bible verse of the day. I hope you enjoy this site! Finally, I encourage you to get outside to enjoy God’s creation and dig into God’s Word daily. Blessings!
