"But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high."
Psalm 3:3
I thought of a sunflower when I studied this verse. The sunflower follows the sun. It keeps its corolla upright. It's radiant beauty shines it's brilliance outward.
That's how I want to be. Keeping my eyes upright, firmly planted on the Lord. I do not want to stray. I want to glow with my love for Him, through His love for me.
When there are storms in my life, I will remember that nothing comes through God's shield around me that He does not allow. God has a purpose for the trials He allows in my life. I purpose to trust Him, and sleep content in His glory!
Blessings,
I am adding my page to the World Watercolor Month challenge.
I used Lyra Aquacolors to watercolor my sunflower. After painting, I outlined with a micron pen.
Oh, Linda, amen! What a beautiful Scripture passage and a wonderful application of it. Thank you for sharing it and thank you for sharing your Bible art journaling. I love it and have first-hand knowledge of how amazing the sunflower is. It truly does follow the sun as it moves from east to west. We had some, and it just was so amazing. A precious truth to remember that God filters all that comes to us. Praise God...He is always in control! Hugs!
