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 law of sin at work within me”

I can only speak for myself... it starts in the morning when I try to plan my day. Wrong... Here it is 9:45... and part of me wants to grab my guitar, another part wants to play the piano, another part wants to paint, and the rest all say 'You need to be working on the computer.'  This is when I realize I need to pray and listen for His answer. Once I disengage my personal thoughts, I can leave my mind open to what is drawn to me by Him. 

Do you struggle daily with this at all?  My intentions are always good... and I am the person that puts off ALL the fun stuff with my music and I chain myself to this computer. It especially gets complicated if I am trying to figure out things for other people... which is NOT my business. 

May this day bring you joy. Rest in Him and He will be within you. He goes before you, is with you and watches over you.

Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
