Earlier this month, I went on a tour of the
Grand Canyon with my family. The tour we took was with Canyon Ministries which
gives guided tours of Grand Canyon from a Christian perspective. Our tour
started at Williams where we boarded a bus with our tour guides, and drove to
see the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was cold and snowy on the top of the
South Rim, but the tour bus was warm and cozy. We saw Yavapai Point which is
the main overlook of the Grand Canyon, and Desert Point which overlooks the
Colorado River and the desert next to it. It was a fun, entertaining, and
educational tour. My favorite thing on the tour was experiencing the awe of the
Grand Canyon while learning God's word from our tour guide, John. I learned from John about the geology of the
canyon. He talked about how Noah's Flood laid down the rock layers and the
bursting of a post-Flood lake (not the Colorado River) that carved the canyon.
It is truly an awesome place that speaks of the amazing holiness and grace of
God!

But God remembered Noah and all the wild
animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind
over the earth, and the waters receded. Genesis 8:1
