YHVH — LORD
“YHVH your God is in your midst — a mighty Saviour! He will delight over you
with joy. He will quiet you with His love.”
— Zephaniah 3:17
This watercolour painting is inspired by the sacred and holy name of God, YHVH — the personal and covenant name of the Lord revealed throughout Scripture. Revered in Jewish tradition, this name is often spoken as Adonai (“The Lord”) or Hashem (“The Name”) as an expression of deep honour and reverence for God’s holiness.
Through flowing watercolour layers and radiant light, this artwork reflects both the majesty and intimacy of the Lord who dwells among His people. Inspired by Zephaniah 3:17, the painting captures the tenderness of God’s love, His mighty power to save, and the peace found in His presence. It is a beautiful reminder that the Lord not only reigns in greatness, but also delights in His children with joy and compassion.
YHVH speaks of the eternal, faithful, and unchanging nature of God—the One who was, who is, and who will forever be. This piece invites quiet reflection on the holiness, love, and nearness of our Creator, who comforts, restores, and surrounds His people with His unfailing presence.
