I recently had the privilege of painting some special artwork pieces for our church's women's ministry conference, and they also requested a piece of artwork that could be made into a print that they gave to each woman in attendance.
The theme of the event was Flourish...how to flourish regardless of our circumstances, by putting on the Armor of God daily. To represent that visually, they requested that I paint flowers all over a suit of actual steel armor. And to go along with that, I also painted this "Shield of Faith" canvas painting for them to use for their print gifts.
I purposely chose to paint some of the greenery spilling out from the side of the shield, to show that when God causes us to flourish, it doesn't always look exactly like we might have expected! And that often, flourishing in the Lord can take us well beyond our "borders" and way outside our neat and tidy little boxes!! (And thank goodness for that!)
I hope this painting and the fine art prints of it that we're offering as well, will always serve as a reminder to put on the Armor of God daily, so we can flourish! To pick up your Shield of Faith each and every day, so you can withstand the attacks of the enemy and truly flourish in your walk with the Lord!
I hope this artwork will serve as a beautiful and powerful reminder on your wall! This would make a lovely and encouraging gift for someone, too!
10 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."
Ephesians 6: 10-18
