My First Impressions of Canyon de Chelly

The first time I stood at the edge of a canyon and peered down into it, I was blown away! The rich red walls stood in stark contrast to the green trees sprinkled throughout. The rock formations and spires reached toward the skies and the distant mountains beckoned. This is a place full of human history and God’s glory, where people of old built homes in the protective shelter of the canyon walls. “By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place.” Proverbs 3:19. In His wisdom and by His understanding, the LORD created the earth. It was not created haphazardly or randomly, but with purpose and mindfulness by a God Who loves you and me.
