Romans Chap 8: 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Matthew Chap 24: 6,7. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled….. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famine, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew Chap 11: 28. Come unto me , all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Footprints by Margaret Fishback Powers. My precious, precious child. I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.

I love to paint big cloudscapes with their drama of huge space, light and shadow. Soaring like eagles in God’s warmth and light is what this is about.

The waterfall image is one that has become very personal, capturing the cry of my heart, “Lord, I want more of your love, power and presence in my life!” This is the fifth painting of the same title and I am sure that I will paint more.

It speaks so wonderfully of His love for us and His watching care. Much of the area where I live looks very much like Israel so I used my own photos of this environment to support constructing the painting. The scriptures that spoke to me concerning this image are mostly from the book of John, chapter 10. I named it after verse 4: “And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” We are to follow Him in perfect peace and order.
