Peace, Not as the World Giveth, Michael Malm Peace, Not as the World Giveth

Michael Malm
Oil on canvas, 2002


There is a peace only the Lord can provide as we follow Him, keep His commandments, and add oil to our lamps as the five wise virgins did who were prepared to receive the Bridegroom when He came. The woman in the painting represents one of the five who were wise, beckoning us to follow the Lord, trusting in Him and preparing for His Second Coming. "But if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear" (Doctrine and Covenants 38:30).
