“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” — Psalm 23:6
I painted Surely Goodness as a reminder of the quiet, steady goodness of God. There is something about a horse standing in the warmth of golden-hour light that feels like a moment of peace—a moment to slow down and simply receive the beauty of what is right in front of you.
Psalm 23:6 reminds me that God's goodness and mercy are not fleeting. They follow us through every season, even when life looks different than we expected. We may not always recognize His hand in the moment, but looking back, I can see so many ways He has been faithful.
The warm light falling across the horse became a picture of that goodness to me. It is gentle, constant, and surrounding us—even when we aren't looking for it.
I hid Psalm 23:6 within the underpainting, beneath the layers of color. You may never see the words, but they are there at the foundation of the piece, just like the promises of God that quietly hold us steady.
