In Isaiah 35:8 we read,
"A highway will be there,
called the holy way."
Isaiah was a prophet and he prophesied this
at a time of great crisis in Israel.
The temple was in ruins,
people were in despair.
And so God gave them
a vision of the future,
the holy way.
When we are beset by challenges,
we should not lose hope because
our God is a God of the impossible,
and He always makes a way!
I finally finished this canvas,
"Hold on to Hope".
The word "Hope" almost disappears
into the background.
That is because hope is illusive,
and we have to make a conscious effort
to hold on to it.
How?
By always hanging on to the Word of God!
After all, it says in Proverbs 4:20-22:
"My son (and my daughter),
be attentive to my words,
incline your ear to my sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
For they are life to him who finds them,
and healing to all his flesh."

Hi Patsy! I love the second painting. It reminds me of childhood memories and the fact that the best things in life are found in the most simplest means.
ReplyDeletePatsy, this is so beautiful.As usual, your artwork is stunning. How do you do that? I am wondering if I could buy a piece of your work? It just inspires me so.
