This painting is about those times when we desperately want answers for difficult things in our lives. We want to know what to do. During the process of this painting I was asking for direction about what to put on this bird’s tag and how to finish the painting. I was worshiping and praising God as I sought answers. He lead me to the phrase “right here.” Confused at first, I realized that in the seeking, I was right where God wanted me.
Where do I go when the clouds roll in? Where should I turn?
“Right here.”
Where? Right? Left?
“Right here.”
Be still in God’s presence. That’s where God wants us. In that place where we are desperate for an answer, seeking him, praising him, waiting for his voice.
