Glacier Before the Mountain Peaks

A luminous blue glacier rests on still water beneath towering snow-crowned mountain peaks, with rugged highland slopes rising between ice and summit. The composition draws the eye from the frozen foreground to the heights beyond, presenting creation as vast, ordered, and beyond human command. For Christian ministry use, the scene speaks naturally of the Lord as Creator and Sustainer: the sea, the ice, the rocky places, and the mountain heights all belong to Him. It also carries the devotional language of pilgrimage, inviting reflection on lifting one’s eyes to the hills and remembering that help comes from the Maker of heaven and earth. by John Baker
