Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

What's your favorite verse and why?

Rebecca from alovelysolitude said: Genesis 32:26, because it is such a powerful way of showing the real, closeness of a true relationship with God and that it is ok to wrestle with Him. I also love Jacob’s boldness in demanding a blessing.

"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth... when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

Inspired by photo's taken from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, I simulated black & white photographs and geometric compositions of Saturn. I loved the simplistic shapes and gradients in each picture and had to capture it myself. Full Project on Behance | Hand-lettered-Logos _

What's your favorite verse and why?

@jensullivann said, "Right now it’s Phillipians 4:4-8! It’s the perfect verse to meditate on in any season of life.”

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. Prints and Shirts | Hand-Lettered-Logos

From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.” Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live. (Numbers 21:3-9)

Bronze Serpent. The Hebrew term translated “bronze” can also mean “copper." The area through which the Israelites were traveling had copper mines, and archaeologists have found a 5- inch- long (13 cm) copper snake in a Midianite shrine at Timna, so it seems likely that copper is meant here. The redness of copper suggested atonement (see 19:1–10), so symbolically it was well chosen for this occasion. Jesus compares his own death on the cross to the uplifted serpent (John 3:14–15). By the time of King Hezekiah of Judah (c. 715 b. c.), this copper serpent had become an object of worship among the Israelites and had to be destroyed (2 Kings 18:4)
