Description
"The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
(Luke 12:23-28)
Verse written in Chinese (traditional). This took me a little while to figure out when I decided to illustrate this verse. Took three tries before I was somewhat agreed as to what it would look like.
God provides all the blessings and provisions in our lives whether we acknowledge it or not; whether we remember they are blessings or not. Therefore for those in Him, it is a reminder to always look to the Lord for your needs and not of your own strength. Can you add to your life by worrying about the things of this world? Have faith in Christ to supply your needs according to His riches as long as you lean on Him whole-heartedly.

This is really pretty. I will have to say thank you. I just got a reminder to not worry about the things of this life and to trust in God more. I've always thanked him, but sometimes I forget to stop worrying about things. ^^ I'm gonna have to favorite this.

I think this is an excellent quote from scripture that is attractively made.
Ha ha, I'm not sure how much the image portrays that passage, but nevertheless the great line "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these" is perhaps your aim here.
You may also want to consider Augustine's great line:
"And I said to all these things in my external environment: 'Tell me of my God who you are not, tell me something about him.' And with a great voice they cried out: 'He made us.' My question was the attention I gave them, and their response was their beauty." (Conf. X.vi.9)
Thanks for this image

I think, though not the main focus of the piece, she did incorporate the raven into the illustration as well

I see it now. However, the raven looks a looot more like he's giving something away rather than scavenging.
What's going on here!?!

Yet the point of the verses is the fact that God provides them the food, not emphasizing the fact that they scavenge for it
Now I feel sorry for Genevieve, we're like spamming her submission lol

Wow, this really spoek to me... Because my mom is having alot of car troubles and she's going to chance it taking it up a mountain (and I think it will break...) But God will provide..

I pray that your mom has safely made her trip and although we should not worry of the provisions in our life, we are also responsible for take the proper measures in situations.
I'll be praying she gets her car looked at soon
