Notes from church June 23rd 2014

Oh hi there! When my wife and I go to church I love taking notes. I typically get a sketch or two done that corresponds to the sermon in some way. Interpreting the sermon visually as well as with traditional notes gives me a fresh way to understand the text.

This week was Psalm 56:

1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;

all day long an attacker oppresses me;

2 my enemies trample on me all day long,

for many attack me proudly.

3 When I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they injure my cause;fn

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they have waited for my life.

7 For their crime will they escape?

In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You have kept count of my tossings;fn

put my tears in your bottle.

Are they not in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back

in the day when I call.

This I know, thatfn God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,

in the LORD, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;

I will render thank offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death,

yes, my feet from falling,

that I may walk before God

in the light of life.

Here's my sketch:

And here's the final image painted.
