Let Bing Declare the Glory of God!




I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent displays of God’s creation each morning through my connectivity with www.bing.comI love that the click-of-the-mouse gives me one more reason to stand-in-awe and worship. Let me share a few delightful Bing images with you.  

A few days ago I viewed Iguazu Falls. The picture of these breath-taking falls between Argentina and Brazil was so real I could almost hear the massive water rushing over the cliffs.  Good job, Bing. 

He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. Psalm 104:10

Recently the face of an irresistibly soft-looking Cheetah greeted me and my morning cup of tea.  That description should also include deadly and fast.  This member of the African clan of felines can run 60-65 mph, faster than any other animal.  It can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 5 seconds.  That is impressive!  Bing kindly accommodated me with those additional facts.

You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl.  The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.  The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.  Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening.  How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:20-24

One day Bing displayed the colorful and appropriately named Puffer fish with this link to a fascinating video of how the fish protects itself from predators.  A must see!  http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Puffer+fish+puffs+up&view=detail&mid=61FB44730FE9DBBA779D61FB44730FE9DBBA779D&first=0&form=hphot2
Thank you, Bing.

There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-- living things both large and small. Psalm 104:25-26

I was first struck with the fabulous window Bing opens to us on God’s creation when I saw “among hay-scented ferns” the Luna Moth. It’s “4.5 inch wing span makes it one of the largest nocturnal fliers.” The moth’s extra eyes placed on its wings confuse its potential predators.  I found them confusing as well.  These moths are nocturnal fliers and live for only two weeks.  Bing provided a time-lapse video of the Luna Moth emerging from its larvae.  Watch and marvel.



These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time.  When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to .the dust. Psalm 104:27-29

On January 19, 2013 I was gripped by the intricate design and coloring of the trunk of a Traveler’s tree.  To check it out visit http://www.istartedsomething.com/bingimages/

…the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD's renown, for an everlasting sign…. Isaiah 55:12-13

Thank you, Bing, for your display of God’s glorious creation and for another opportunity to stand in awe of it. 

Meet me at Bing and we can be captivated together!

May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works. Psalm 104:31
