Painting the Word


WORRIED WOMAN

By Sandi Hester

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…” Matthew 6:25
Do not fret - it leads only to evil. Psalm 37:8

I’m putting this picture as the fourth in the Lady Series. This was the first lady I painted. I really like how she turned out, however she looks a little stressed. Ladies, do you realize Jesus commands us not to worry? It’s really a trust issue. Do we really trust that the One who created the heavens and the earth - the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb - can really take care of our sick child, the bills, or the bad marriage? Can we really trust Him with those things? Does He really care about those things? YES!

A while back, I memorized Psalm 37 and was surprised to learn that fretting (another word for worrying) leads to nothing good - in fact, it leads only to evil. Hmmm, I think there’s some serious truth to that!
