  Give an example from the Bible, other than the ones used in this lesson, that demonstrates the biblical authors use of geography to convey biblical wisdom.

  Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water,
  so my soul pants for you, my God.

  In psalm 65 God reminds us that He answers us through His righteousness expressed in geography.

  5 By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas;
  6 the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might;
  7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples,
  8 so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.
  9 ¶ You visit the earth and water it;fn you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it.
  10 You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.
  11 You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.
  12 The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,
  13 the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.

  In psalm 65 David reminds us that God answers us through His righteousness expressed in geography.

  6 the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might;

  Isaiah 55:10-11 says,

  ““For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
  And do not return there,
  But water the earth,
  And make it bring forth and bud,
  That it may give seed to the sower
  And bread to the eater,
  So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
  It shall not return to Me void,
  But it shall accomplish what I please,
  And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

  In this passage, Isaiah talks about the weather processes of rain and snow the land experiences and what it causes to happen to the earth, and then compares that to God’s Word.

  Examples from the Bible
  Natural Geography: Jesus was in a boat sleeping, when a storm begins to rage on the sea. The passengers were afraid seeing how the winds were blowing causing the boat to toss and turn. The passengers notice that water from the sea was coming into the boat. Heavy down pour of rain. The fishermen in the sea.

  Human Geography: The travels of Ruth and Naomi. Moving from one location to another location. Customs were strange and different. Collected grains from the fields.
  David used a sling shot instead of a bow and arrow. He did not use armor for battle. He did not change his battle strategy. He used what he was familiar to him.
  The fishermen threw their nets into the sea.

  Natural Geography: Solomon’s garden for his wife. When Joshua and Caleb along with ten others visited the land of the giants, they found various kinds of fruits. They found unusual sizes of grapes, figs, and pomegranates. The “Garden of Eden” was a display of beautiful plants, trees with and without blooms. Flowering and non-flowering plants. Trees with fruits.
