Modern Abstracts

I came across this guys sight two days ago and thought it was pretty neat~ Mark Lawrence. He's even done paintings to My Utmost For His Highest. Here was some of my favorites (mainly because I love the verses)...

Why Are You Anxious?
"And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?” Luke 12:25-26

The Sufferings Of This Present Time.
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8:18

Be Strong.
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6.


The Testing of Your Faith.
"because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." James 1:3

Guarded By The Peace of God.
"and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

All Things Through Christ.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13


A Way of Escape.
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

The God of All Grace.
"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you." 1 Peter 5:10

Be Anxious for Nothing.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" Philippians 4:6

Eternal Weight of Glory.
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" 2 Corinthians 4:17

Perfect in Weakness.
”And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Holy Visitation

Remembered this song driving back here to Alexandria yesterday...found it to be pretty timely.

Lord, we stand here as the desperate people hungry for the things of You. Come quiet the storms, that rage all around us so that we hear the passion that beats through Your heart. Spirit put healing in our hands. Put life in our words and drive a passion for the lost, deep in the hearts of Your people. Inhabit the praises of us Your children. And Father, send us out with a reckless passion. Deliver us from evil and set a standard of unity to break down walls and to heal Your people. Unity is the cry of Your church, Lord. Reconcile the children to the fathers. And with forgiveness and mercy rush through the hearts of our land. We cry out our deep need for You Jesus. Oh God come in power and bring glory to Your name.

Sound the alarm
Gather the people
Gather the elders
Let the ministers wail
God, take back the years that the enemy’s stolen
Lord, You are coming
Holy Visitation

We return to You
With fasting and weeping and mourning
Oh, my Lord, You’re returning
We lie here weeping between porch and altar
Pour out Your spirit on Your sons and Your daughters
We lie here weeping between porch and altar
Pour out Your spirit on Your sons and Your daughters
Sound the alarm

Awaken the watchmen
Open their ears
Let their voices be loud
We prophecy, You’ll come to this nation
Touch this generation
Holy Visitation

We dance, and we shout and we lift up our voice
Let your kingdom come down
