When I chose the painting for my blog today, I wanted my verse from my Bible to reflect the journey of taking a trip. Everyone reacts differently to travel. If you are like me... you don't get nervous until the day of the trip. but once I begin the journey, I find a peace and calmness. This verse refers to the speaker or writer as being old and not young.  I am definitely closer to the old over the young and this speaks to and from my heart to you.  Every day is a journey in your life and you know not what is ahead. 

"The Lord makes firm the steps the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.  Turn from evil and do good: then you will dwell in the land forever. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.  Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever." Psalm 37:23-29

Take each day as it comes. Set aside worry and let go of those fears that bubble up during the day. God does not want us to worry or to be afraid. When we are, we are not true to our faith and our trust in Him.  

As you traverse this next week, live your faith. If you have not found the joy of the Lord, reach out to someone you trust who is a follower. The Bible is the Word of God. Why?   He inspired and helped each person that 'journaled' their story and wrote of what was and still is today.  While I am a Christian, I find the Chumash and the Tanach from the Jewish faith, to be the purest translation from the Aramaic Hebrew to English and the same words  are there in every published edition. *It is the Old Testament.  There are no 'watered down' or 'easy to read' translations in the Jewish faith.  They remain the same from the beginning. It has always amazed me at the difference in MANY Bible editions and how they simplify the wording as if we are unable to read or embrace the true written words of centuries before us. (Have you ever heard of the Geneva Bible?  You might look that one up!... it has a richness to it.) 

What matters most is your heart and your belief in Him and in His Son and the Holy Spirit that is woven through your body. God protects you as you journey through this lifetime. Even the hard times when things fall upon you or surprise you, God walks it with you. It is "through repentance and rest we are saved. It is through quietness and trust we find our strength." IF YOU REST IN GOD... you will be saved, and if you need strength, grow quiet in prayer and trust He will provide exactly what you need.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
