The Discipline of Heeding. VerseVisions Art; Matthew 10:27

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Matthew 10:27

Have you wondered why God doesn’t immediately take everyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord up to heaven? He leaves us here because we have a purpose and a calling as Christians here on the earth. We have been personally selected by God to be left here as a minority. The world has approximately six billion people and God has personally chosen a select group of people in whom He places His Spirit to serve as the source of light.

When I consider myself in this way it turns upside down my goals and earthy ambitions. I’m not sure why God would choose such a weak and broken vessel as me for such an important purpose. Nevertheless I am convinced by His grace and favor upon me that His purpose and presence in my life are as real as the air that I breathe.

Father God, please do not let me squander or overlook your passion and purpose for me while I tarry in this world. May I fear you and obediently submit to your call so that all may know that You alone are God, and that Jesus Christ is Your Son and Lord of all.

This painting was inspired by the moving 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.

    I think this one looks absolutely amazing, and 60×60inches! Would love to stand in front of the original.But I can’t see the religion you speak of, I see a larva stream, or maybe the birth of our planet billions of years ago. Could you do another exactly the same? Or are they “one offs” Um ‘flukes’ if you like. I dont mean this to sound negative, I’m just curious when I see something like this, how much planning is involved, do you do working drawings etc? Wayne.
