One of the most comforting truths in Scripture is found in Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” These simple yet profound words have carried many through seasons of challenge, uncertainty, and weariness. I wanted to create a piece of artwork that visually reflected this promise – a reminder that even amidst life’s storms, our strength does not come from our own striving but from resting in the joy of the Lord.
The image in this print comes from one of my very first oil paintings and shows a beach scene which captures the calm of the shoreline with waves gently brushing against the sand, and the solid cliffs standing firm – a symbol of God's unshakable strength. I chose a palette of serene blues to evoke peace and stillness, helping the viewer to pause, breathe, and remember where true strength lies.
This print is more than just a piece of decor – it’s a daily encouragement, a scripture to meditate on, and a gentle invitation to realign your heart with joy found only in Him.
Whether you hang it in your hallway, gift it to a friend walking through a difficult season, or keep it by your desk for daily inspiration, I pray it brings comfort and hope. I’ve poured my heart and prayers into this piece, and it’s my joy to share it with you.
Let it be a quiet declaration in your home: His joy is your strength, and He is ever faithful.
