In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain.
For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”

The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
his eyes examine them.
The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.

On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.

For the LORD is righteous,
he loves justice;
the upright will see his face.

The above photo was taken in Bethlehem in 2007, the year I lived in Jerusalem. This beautiful sunset has captivated me ever since. I see God's face in the natural formation of the clouds and the rays of the sun piercing the oncoming darkness. I keep this photo in my kitchen and on my desk and gaze at it when I need refuge.

If that is God in the cloud he is indeed very great.
