Life Lessons from the National Parks
I'm a born-again freelance writer who loves to travel to the national parks! While visiting Everglades in 2009, I was struck by the lessons our parks can teach us about living for the Lord. Not only do I write about our country's greatest natural treasures in my weekly posts, I examine how they point to the God who created them, and who longs to have a relationship with each of us.

We've been discussing this in relationship to Hebrews where we're told that 'they did not come into the rest because of unbelief' and that we must be careful as it can happen to us too.

Then we talked about 'rest', since it's not the kind we're used to thinking about which is the 'kick back and rest' type. It's actually a 'rest' where we trust that God has already provided everything we need and by faith, we receive and believe it with thanksgiving.

This 'rest' is one of the hardest things we face as Christians...'coming into the rest' and giving up our own efforts, to receive what He has done.

Self-effort is believing in what is happening around us...the natural realm; what we see, hear, taste, feel. All our senses can be telling us one thing, but what we have already received by faith (supernatural realm) from Him is what we're to focus upon....'casting down all imaginations' contrary to His promises.

Your article stirred me up! Thank you and I'll be reading your blog postings again.
