Waterfalls demonstrate the power of water. Today’s photo also captures the beauty that often accompanies the sudden change in a river’s water level. Dougan Falls is one of many waterfalls on the Washougal River in southern Washington.
Biblical writers have used the power and beauty of waterfalls to symbolize God’s Power, his overwhelming love, and His spiritual depth.
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24 ESV).
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me (Psalm 42:7 ESV).
To capture the smooth silky view of the Dougan Falls, this photo required longer than normal exposure. In a similar fashion, if we want to experience the fullness of God’s love, His power, depth, and righteousness, it will require deep and constant exposure to His will. We can find that in His Word and in His Holy Spirit. I hope that you allow his character to wash over you today.
