Everyday Joy: Bible Verses for Appreciating Sunsets

While dealing with uncertainty all around us, we still have beautiful sunsets.

Prayer is a powerful force for good. At Guideposts, we believe in the strength of prayer to bring comfort, hope, and healing. Your generous donation today will help us continue to share the power of prayer with those in need. Together, through prayer and support, we can make a difference.

Every evening since we’ve been at home—mostly sheltering-in-place—we take a walk to see the sun set. Gosh, there are so many tragic things happening to people in this time, but then I also find myself giving thanks for the joys of each day.

Like the sunset. Who knew how beautiful it could be? We live in New York City on the island of Manhattan, in the middle of millions of people, but not far from our apartment we can gaze out at the Hudson River and watch the sun.

Here are five Bible Verses to match five different sunsets seen over the last few days. Don’t they make you want to give thanks, too? And gaze at your own view of the sun setting.

1 of 5 Psalm 113:3

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
