How Could I Not Know?, VerseVisions Art; Acts 26:15, originally uploaded by Mark Lawrence.
“Who art Thou, Lord?” Acts 26:15
Rather than speaking to me with His voice, I hear God most clearly through my circumstances. I read His word daily seeking instruction and guidance. Reading and meditating seems to be the most rational way that I have convinced myself He would talk to me. I translate what I read into what I think is how He wants to order the steps of my life.
Yet as I look at the circumstances and events unfolding before me I see Him communicating to me in a much more powerful way. God is teaching me that he wants me to know Him and serve Him not by how my spirit interprets His word; but rather in complete and meek surrender to His lordship over me. I am realizing that the Bible only begins to reveal the awesome love and plans that He has for my life. If only I can surrender and trust Him…
This painting was inspired by the powerful devotions penned and published by Oswald Chambers in the early 1900’s. His powerful book, My Utmost for His Highest, continues to touch my life and draw me closer to Jesus. I hope that this art and verse do the same for you!
Read the devotional from My Utmost For His Highest that inspired this work.
