Yesterday I went to Zagreb to make an arrangement with Gallery Harmica placed on the main square of the town and to put my two paintings there for sale. Like always the town crowdedness and rain that was falling yesterday made me stressful especially in combination with desperation in people concerning art and selling art in Croatia(I was talking with some people engaged in photography). I started to panic and despair myself. Then I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit, “Give thanks to the Lord, always!” I was not in the mood for celebration, but I gaze on to the open page in Bible and it said:

“"Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting."
"Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.” Nehemiah 9:5

And I obeyed.
And I was at peace.
The sun was shining again.
And I started to paint a new painting.
I finished it today and bring it to you.

Psalm 63

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

They who seek my life will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God’s name will praise him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
