"While ye have light, believe in the light.." John 12:36
This painting was inspired by the moving devotions penned and published by Oswald Chambers in the early 1900’s. His powerful book, My Utmost for His Highest, continues to touch my life and draw me closer to Jesus. I hope that this art and verse do the same for you!
Please read and meditate upon the devotional from My Utmost For His Highest that inspired this work.
When God sends a message to us through scripture it is never by accident. In Isaiah 55:11, God says that wherever He sends His word it never returns empty, but always achieves the special purpose for which it was sent.
Prayerfully consider the verse and devotional that inspired this painting and know that the Mighty God of all the heavens has reached out to touch you at this moment.

Hello Mark,
This is so funny, I had just heard a biography about Oswalt Chambers yesterday on the radio and didn’t know that he was first an artist. So I was googling him today and came across your website. Your work is so incredibly beautiful. I love how you work with color. I too am a christian artist and am drawn to lots of color. You can take a peek at my paintings at willpaintforfood.blogspot.com.
Anyway, just wanted to say how encouraging it was to come across your website and to see someone else getting inspiration from God’s Word. Keep up the good work!
Blessing to you and your family,
Lynnsy Deferio
