Provision

myPhotoWalk Artistry

There are times in life when you will feel as though you have no earthly help or visible means of support. You are in the impossible place and need provision for your needs.

Be encouraged to know that the Lord is your provider. He promises to provide for your needs.

The psalmist encourages us to know that "he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things" (Psalm 107:9 ESV).

When I look up into the sky and see all that God has created, I am encouraged that He is all–sufficient and able to provide for me no matter the greatness of my need.

One very early morning, I noticed the moon was absolutely beautiful in the ebbing night sky. The clouds were glowing pink, so, with my Nikon D810 camera, I just zoomed in to capture the glorious moment.

Once I viewed the image on my computer, I became inspired to make it a myPhotoWalk Photo Artistry piece to remind all of us of God's provision.

I processed the image in Adobe Camera Raw, then put a Topaz Adjust filter of photo pop to bring out the dynamic range. I reduced the noise with Topaz DeNoise. Then I added a Topaz Impression Georgia O'Keefe painterly filter to add texture. Can you tell that I love all the Topaz filters? I use them all the time in my photo processing. Then I added a Brocade texture from ON1 Software. I felt like I wanted to add more texture so I brought in a couple of texture and vector images and reduced the opacity just so there would be a hint of additional imagery. One of the texture images actually had white paint dripping down. I wanted that effect to give it kind of a mixed media feel.

Then I added the text using a Helvetica Neue font which I happen to love for these photo artistry images.

So, as you look at this photography, my prayer is that you will be filled with hope and expectation as you look to the Lord to provide for you in your need.

Lord, today we thank You for the promise that You will provide for all our needs. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Blessings ♡ Grace
