Adjusting has been a struggle for me. I miss the beauty of the mountains, the hiking trails, and spending time in nature. \u00a0However, I have found a couple of nearby walking trails. \u00a0Last week as I was admiring the majestic towering trees, this song popped into my head and stuck. \u00a0So y&#8217;all know me \ud83d\ude09 I was off to do some research&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong><em>Majestic<\/em> <\/strong><\/span>refers to being &#8220;impressive or beautiful in a dignified or inspiring way&#8221; (thefreedictionary.com). Other definitions include: &#8220;of lofty dignity or imposing aspect; stately; grand; beautiful&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In order to put it into a Biblical perspective, I searched for verses describing God as majestic. \u00a0Job 25:5 NLT tells us that God is more glorious, more majestic than the moon. \u00a0Psalm 76:4 NLT says &#8220;You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.&#8221; \u00a0(This verse <em>really<\/em> caught my attention.) \u00a0Psalm 93:4 HCSB states &#8220;Greater than the roar of many waters\u2014 the mighty breakers of the sea\u2014 the Lord on high is majestic.&#8221; \u00a0And Exodus 15:11 NASB asks &#8220;Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?
