“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
THIS MONTH’S ENCOUNTER
Be Strong & Courageous
JOSHUA 1:9
The Revelation
Every encounter begins long before the first brushstroke.
- This painting grew from Joshua 1:9 and the assurance that courage is not the absence of fear—it is the confidence that God is present and goes before us.
- Through layered paper, expressive texture, Scripture fragments, mountain imagery, and the quiet strength of the lion, the painting became a reminder to lift our eyes, trust His promise, and move forward in the strength He provides.
A Word for You
Perhaps you are standing at the edge of something new—a calling, a difficult season, or the next step God is asking you to take.
His command to be courageous comes wrapped in a promise:
He is with you wherever you go.
MONTHLY ENCOUNTER
Encounter on Canvas
Every month I share one painting born from a specific revelation—an encounter shaped through Scripture, creativity, ancient Jewish insights, biblical symbolism, and quiet moments spent in God’s presence.
Every painting tells a story. Every story points
to something God is revealing.
Make this encounter part of your story. Bring it home as a gallery-wrapped canvas or an Encounter Card, allowing its message to continue speaking into your daily life.

A FINAL REFLECTION
Take a Moment
Pause for a moment and let God’s truth settle into your heart.
May this encounter remind you that courage is not found in your own strength, but in the faithful presence of the One who walks with you. Whatever mountain stands before you, whatever uncertainty lies ahead, His promise remains the same:
“I will be with you wherever you go.”
Let that promise quiet your fears, strengthen your faith, and remind you that you never walk alone.
Prayer
Father,
Thank You for reminding me that Your presence is greater than every fear I face.
Give me the courage to trust You, the strength to keep moving forward, and the faith to believe that You are already preparing the path before me.
Help me live each day confident in Your promises and secure in Your love.
Amen.
A Note from Rebekah Jo
Thank you for spending time with this month’s Encounter on Canvas. Every painting begins as a quiet conversation with God—a journey of prayer, creativity, and listening for the story He wants to reveal. It is a privilege to share these encounters with you, and my hope is that this month’s artwork has encouraged your heart and reminded you that His promises are still speaking today. Thank you for inviting this story into your home and into your heart.
