"Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
While it is yet green and not cut down,
it withers before any other plant.
So are the paths of all who forget God;
And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,
Whose confidence shall be cut off,
and whose trust is a spider's web,
He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure."
Job 8:11-15
The Good News is:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6

I am happy to have found some new friends through the "WEB", specifically the Friday Foto Friends...and it has also helped me to get back in the swing of blogging at least once a week. It seems as though lately I've been too busy or just too tired to sit down and get focused on writing anything, let alone reading what others are writing. You would think since my retirement this past fall that I would have all the time in the world...but for those of you who are also retired, you know what happens....it often seems that once you retire you stay busier than you ever did when you were working full time!
I hope you have enjoyed these thoughts from God's Word and pictures from His World.
Have a blessed day, dear friends on "The Web".
Those photos are perfect with the verses of Scripture. And, that spider web, especially the first picture ..... just awesome. Thanks for linking up again this week. It's so nice making new friends! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie! Thank you especially for hosting this group of Friday Foto Friends on the WEB. So much fun to get to know new people each week. I'm glad you liked the pictures...I find spider webs so fascinating, as long as I am not walking right into them! I hope your weekend is blessed as well.
DeleteI agree with Deb that your photos fit the scripture perfectly. Thanks for visiting my blog today, and for your sweet comments! I enjoyed my visit here!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri! I am so glad you stop by, since we are both now "Friends from Florida"! Such fun! Have a blessed day.
DeleteBeautiful photos, all of them, but especially the web.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.

Thank you Diana! I think you are new to my "web" of friends...I must go get acquainted with you. May your weekend be blessed.
DeleteBeautiful post and photo's Pamela.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sylvia! I am so glad you found your way back onto blogland. I would have missed you for certain!
DeletePam, I love this post. Beautiful pictures coupled with scripture. The spider webs are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nonnie. I love to photograph spider webs, but I sure don't like to run into them while taking my walks. My hubby often carries a big stick in front of him as he leads the way and knocks down the webs as we go. I am glad I get to get pictures of some who are not in our path! Have a blessed day!
DeleteWhat striking photos! As I looked at the photos I thought that the trees and vegetation look like what is near me. So, as I don't live too far from Ocala, there you go! I haven't ventured into the National Forest yet but it does look so pretty and very primitive looking! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteSometime when it is a bit cooler maybe you can come for a visit and a walk in the woods with me! That would be fun! Thank you for your visit HERE on the WEB today! Such fun to get together this way. May your day be blessed as well.
DeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful photos, Pam! Seeing God's handiwork in nature causes me to rejoice and to worship Him.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thank you Kim. Yes...when we see all that God has provided for our joy and pleasure through His creation, I just stand in awe and give glory. Thank you for sharing in this time of worship with me. Blessings, My Friend. Happy SONday!
DeleteThis was good to read this afternoon!
