"The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8

This painting began with light palette knife sweeps in rich colors of browns, deep reds, and golds. I knew right away it would be horses and I began turning and rotating the canvas to find the silhouettes of the horses in the paint.  They stood out strongly to my eye and I could feel the wind in their face.  Preparing for the Keller Public Art Show, I was blessed to visit The Dutch Art gallery in search of frames for several of my paintings. This frame was the first one my husband found and it was absolutely  perfect!  Framed by a top Gallery in Dallas, this painting would be the one that will catch your eye every day and fill you with power.

His Wind

God is the true source of the wind and in control of where it comes from and where it goes.   We all have faced stiff winds in our days as well as being pushed forward by it.  In these times we either face it or we are pushed by it, and we find ourselves in a battle. In today's world the enemy is determined to see us defeated, stressed with worry and feeling discouraged.  Should we allow him to win? I think not.

In this day today, we must be alert with everything going on around us. We will face obstacles we could never imagine.  If the obstacles fall in our path to stop us, the attacks will soon follow. We must be aware of everything around us, staying close to the Lord. It is He alone that provides the wisdom and strength for us to battle or the cover of his protection when we are weary. If we fall weak, we need not fear, for he alone will keep us safe and fight for us. The closer we are to Him, we realize it is in rest and repentance we are saved, and in quietness and trust is our strength.
