I love the Bible. But I have to say, if one day I'm walking and all that happens before me, I'm going to have to seriously reconsider munching on the wild berries and mushrooms I found along the way. Seriously.

We are like the trees and mountains and hills. This may be about saints in Heaven or brethren praising God and welcoming a soul that got saved. Jesus compares trees with individuals, and groups (wild and fruitful olive tree). Mountains and hills are (I think) different nations of groups of people because nations are a gathering together like a hill is and aim for clouds, like mountains do and conversely idolater nations ("high places" = pride = idolatry). Mountains also can mean spiritual heights depending on context. But there's probably a lot of praise going on in nature that we can't see and hear. I sometimes do think that.

I believe all of nature praise God.Flowers bloom, bees thrive, a bird near my bedroom window sings so beautifully early in the morning, even before sunrise, everyday.

Nature is in my opinion God's masterpiece. It is his quiet Bible that gives a visual and vocal proof among its inhabitants proof God is there.
 
WOW I am so glad this thread took off like this it took a while to go through all the posts but it was worth it I actually didn't even realize how many scriptures speak of nature and how it is likened to God and all the biblical truths I saw from everyone was amazing fantastic job everyone
 
Total eclipse.
The Sun and the Moon are so vastly different in diameter (400 times) and so far away from one another (almost 400 times), so when they happen to overlap in the sky, their diameter that appears to us is equal: this is the only way that total eclipse is possible.

Of course, some will chalk this up to "chance". (Satire glasses on) I will add a scientific disclaimer that our brains wanting to make a deeper sense of the universe is totally not a testimony. We only search for love and meaning because everything including us came to being ourselves a way that was totally devoid of love, meaning and purpose. I praise the authority of glorified chemical cocktail beings who evolved by accident. Let them lead the way and tell other evolved chemical cocktails that they are "wrong", because there is no standard to determine rightness and wrongness.

Speaking of the sun and moon as I am fascinated by outer space God once gave me an analogy about those thing. The sun gives light to the world and the moon having no light of it's accord reflects the light the sun gives the moon controlls the tides of the ocean

Now if we think of the sun as Christ the moon as us the church and his bride and the oceans as the world and the people in it then we reflect the light of Christ and we stir the waters of the world. We hvae no light of our own but reflect his and the sun gives light to the world but he uses the church to make waves in the world
