Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Thousands of people visit the Garden of the Gods every year. There are miles of trails upon which hikers travel. However, there are trails that for some reason people are not as inclined to hike.
Some of these more obscure trials offer spectacular views. This is one of my favorite out-of-the-way places in the Garden. I affectionately call it, "The Foot of the Giant." The large rock formation that stands between the foreground and Pike's Peak is known as the Sleeping Giant. If you look closely, you can see the Giant's foot.
Sometimes you need to travel off the beaten trail to get a new perspective on life.
"Who, then, is the person that fears the Lord? He is the one whom the Lord will teach which path to choose." Psalm 25:12 God's Word to the Nations
There are many voices that tell us which path to walk in life. As well meaning as these voices might be, God calls us to a different path, and from this path we are reward with an amazing perspective of life.
The key according to the psalmist is the fear of the Lord. This absolute amazement that God would empty heaven in his Son, send him to crucifixion then raise him from the dead directs us on a new path on which we can view life.
Not many people travel this path, but for those guided by the Spirit, the journey is worth the view.
