Description

This large wall mounted print is inspired by Psalm 42 in which the distressed poet, like a stag thirsting for water, longs for God to bring life to his soul. Rendered here in vibrant hues, the artist reminds us of the psalms instruction: to focus on God's beautiful provision for those who thirst for Him.  It is a incredibly authentic lament that is greatly treasured for its poetic beauty, juxtaposed with forthright honesty.  The writer remembers how they are pierced by the cruel oppression of others, yet, still commands their own soul to remember God is unchanging, faithful, a joy without blemish above all things, and He will provide for all our deepest needs.  

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.

Psalm 42:1
