Title: āBehold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!ā (Psalm 133:1)
Technique: Mixed media on paper: colored pencil, acrylic, watercolor
Size (framed): 58 Ć 78 cm
This work grows out of Psalm 133. The Hebrew word yachad means more than simply ātogether.ā It points to being in genuine connection, not just sharing a room, but sharing intention.
The composition is inspired by Isaac Oliverās The Three Brothers Browne (c. 1598). I kept the structure, but made the connection more alive.
āAnd I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.āā
āāGenesis⬠ā3ā¬:ā15ā¬
āAnd His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written that no one knows except Him. And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He might smite the nations; and He shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and He treads the winepress of the fury and the wrath of the Almighty God. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked miracles in his presence, by which he had deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Those two were cast alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone; And the rest were killed by the sword of Him Who sits on the horse, even the sword that goes out of His mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.ā

The Beginning of Wisdom: Proverbs for Today
When we open the book of Proverbs, we are stepping into the collected wisdom of Solomon, the son of David. But Solomon did not begin his reign with wisdom already in hand. Scripture tells us how he received it, and that story is the foundation for understanding why Proverbs carries such weight.
In 1 Kings chapter 3, Solomon had just become king afterā¦

As the "Son of man," Jesus came to seek out those who were lost in sin and to save them through his sacrificial death on the cross. This message is central to the Christian belief in salvation and the forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ.
One theme that emerges from this passage is the idea of embracing weakness and vulnerability. In a world that often values strength and self-sufficiency, this verse offers a counter-cultural perspective. It reminds us that it is okay to not have it all together, and that in our weakness, we can find strength in God. This theme is especially relevant in today's society, where there is often pressure to appear strong and put together at all times.
Another theme is the sufficiency of God's grace. The verse emphasizes that God's grace is enough to sustain us through any trial or struggle. This is a comforting and reassuring message, particularly for those going through difficult circumstances. It reminds us that we do not have to rely solely on our own strength, but can lean on the grace of God to see us through.
The symbolism in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 is also significant. The thorn in Paul's flesh is often interpreted as a metaphor for any type of suffering or weakness that we may experience. It can represent physical ailments, emotional struggles, or any type of hardship that weighs us down. In this context, the thorn serves as a symbol of the burdens that we carry, and how we can find strength and grace in the midst of them.
The verse also symbolizes the transformative power of Christ. It speaks to the idea that in our moments of weakness, we can experience a profound sense of strength and power through our connection to Christ. This symbolizes the idea of finding hope and resilience in the midst of adversity, and the belief that God can bring about transformation and renewal even in our darkest moments.
