Psalm 27:1
This verse is lettered in my favorite Fraktur style, with the repeated word "LORD" enlarged in Lombardic capitals and done in gold. Acknowledging the LORD as our light, salvation, and stronghold pulls the plug on our tendency to fear or be afraid. He must be made big in our heart and mind because He is! As Dr. Bob Jones senior has said, "You and God make a
majority".
Story Behind the Art
Jane Glosser is an interior designer who loves Scripture. She headed up a project for Trinity Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant, TX, to display large framed verses (22"x28") in their new foyer. Their strategy was to have church members volunteer to sponsor the lettering and display of one of their favorite verses. I had the privilege of doing these verses. This is one of the pieces that was matted and framed.
