Grand Canyon National Park

He is the LORD our God: His judgments are in all the earth.    Psalm 105:7

Located in northwestern Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park was established as a national park in 1919.   The park consists of 1,902 square miles and is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.   The National Park Service declares:   “A powerful and inspiring landscape, Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size.   Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and a mile deep.”   Grand Canyon’s enormity, majesty and awesome display of grandeur are a mighty reflection of the Creator’s power, His righteousness and His incredible ability to bring forth beauty from desolation. 

One of the great tragedies of all time is to see a great wonder such as Grand Canyon, but fail to understand why it is as it is.   To walk alongside and gaze at the breadth, depth and width of Grand Canyon ought to cause one to reflect upon the power of the great Creator.   Sadly, however, the park’s signage and literature promote a humanist world view which completely dominates modern culture.   God and the flood in Noah’s day is replaced with the speculations of modern geology which promote the idea that incomprehensible amounts of time is the magical force that makes all things possible.
