Description
01.20.2021: As I have been praying these past several days, one of the themes God was showing me is that He is preparing His committed followers for challenging days ahead.
On a recent nature walk, I took a photo of a snowy egret (Egretta thula) flying above the swamp.
Like this majestic bird, God empowers us by His precious Holy Spirit to rise above the tumult and focus on the One True and Living God ~ for our protection, direction and provision.
We are being trained in the Kingdom school of the Lord Yeshua Jesus for victorious living.
One of my favorite Scriptures which I have posted above my desk is Isaiah 41:10; here it is in the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC). May this be our rallying cry and decree to live out daily ~ the true and living Words of the King of kings:
“Fear not [there is nothing to fear],
for I am with you;
do not look around you
in terror and be dismayed,
for I am your God.
I will strengthen and harden you
to difficulties, yes, I will help you;
yes, I will hold you up
and retain you
with My [victorious]
right hand of rightness and justice.”
It has been said that the phrase "do not be afraid" is found 365 times in the Bible ~ one for each day of the regular year.
Keep praying and believing God.
Do not quit.
Keep pressing onward.
God answers in His perfect way and timing, with your best interest at heart.
Your faith grows as you continue to wait, pray and obey the Lord ~ no matter the cost.

Artwork notes:
This art image and others in my portfolio are available as museum-quality fine art prints, framed and unframed. Please kindly see the ordering options on this page.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".

Beautiful and inspirational! The final verse of one of my favourite hymns, "How Firm A Foundation" is based on this passage of Scripture. "Fear not! I am with thee. O, be not dismayed! For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand. Upheld my my righteous, omnipotent hand." How I wish that this pandemic was over, so that we could sing this and other inspirational hymns together as a congregation!
