Snow-Mantled Mountains of Creation

Snow rests across a sweeping mountain range beneath a broad, clouded sky, with winding valleys and rugged hills stretching across the horizon. The scene presents the created world as a testimony to the majesty and faithfulness of God, echoing the biblical language of mountains, hills, and the works of His hands. In Christian visual use, these high places naturally call to mind Psalm 121, where the worshiper lifts his eyes to the hills and confesses that help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. The grandeur of the terrain also serves well for themes of creation, divine sovereignty, prayer, retreat, stewardship, and worship backgrounds. by Mal Austin
