Watercolor Collage

Here's an easy art project inspired by hills and trees. It took about 20 minutes. It makes me think of Psalm 121. I invite you to take some time to rest in God's word and get creative with me, feel free to follow along to the video, meditate on the word, and create your own version!

Psalm 121

¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel    will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life;

⁸ the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
