Yesterday, I was blessed with the opportunity to go see one of the wonders of the world; Victoria Falls. It was an amazing experience. I’ve traveled a little bit in my life, and I’ve seen some pretty amazing wonders. All of them pale in comparison to this wonderful marvel.
You can hear the falls before you can see them. It is like the distant, yet encompassing roar of a lion. When you walk closer, and get beyond the trees, you finally see the roar’s source. Millions of gallons of water are slamming into rocks, spraying mist up in the air. The first glimpse makes your jaw drop. Your hand instinctively goes to your phone so you can capture the majesty in front of you. Once you get even closer, the mist drizzles your skin, dampening you near instantaneously. Finally, there is a break in the trees, and you can go to the edge. You walk to the edge, dumbstruck because of what is before you. It’s raining! But it isn’t going down. It’s raining up! The mist is a downpour! (Or up-pour) You are overwhelmed by beauty and majesty. You think this can’t be real, but it is. A waterfall so huge and so intense, it is shooting water up higher than the fall itself. So much beauty, set there by the hands of God.
This was truly an experience that will last forever in my mind. One of my friends described the falls as a groove in God’s fingerprint, and I agree. It is pure majesty. It reminds me of the book Hinds feet on High Places. The waterfall at the end of the book is the Grace and Glory of God. I never truly understood what that meant until now. God’s Grace and Glory are an overflowing fountain of intense magnitude that no one can stand against.
I thank God for my friends. I thank God for Victoria Falls. And I thank God for his unending deluge of Grace and Glory.
I will be in the bush for two weeks. Therefore, I will not have WiFi. So, yea, don’t expect to hear from me for a while. I’m not dead, just off the grid.
