God's Window

God's Window

Original Oil Painting, 18x24, 2009

Description: Windows and doors, or doorways, represent opportunities set before us, in the natural and in the spirit, by God into new places. God wants to take us beyond ourselves and the present circumstances and reveal to us who He is and what He created us for. He created us with great joy and expectation that we would know and trust Him. We discover who we are and who He created us to be by entering into His resting place. (He is our resting place.) Our time on earth is but for a moment compared with eternity. God wants to reveal His love and His higher purpose beyond what we can see… His plans for us are good, full of hope and purpose. To know Him is to know who we are, because He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith, and the One who fashioned and formed us before the foundations of the world.

Psalm 61:2-3 says, "From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy.”

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the Rock of which we build our lives upon. Though the wind and waves of life want to overtake us, He will set us upon His Rock; His Word…There is our safe place. When we feel overwhelmed in the midst of life, the ever-changing circumstances and uncertainties that would overwhelm us…remain in His Love, and in His Word, for He is a our stronghold, our sure place. Seek His face. His viewpoint is above what we see. He gives us new perspective. From His vantage point, we will receive instruction, wisdom and guidance. We behold our future in Him is bright and hopeful, clear and purposeful.
