Anything Goes - Weeks #710-711

Welcome back, everyone.  Are you all ready for another amazing challenge with us here at Word Art Wednesday?  It's always most fun when YOU are able to join us.  The more, the merrier.  We really enjoy seeing your amazing cards linked up here, and we appreciate each and every card you share with us.  Best of luck in the random draw.  We hope that you'll enjoy the brief devotional, the inspirational cards that are being shared, and the super FUN challenge we have ready for you now.  Thanks for being here to take part in the FUN.

The scripture in focus for this challenge is Lamentations 3:24 which reads, "The LORD is my portion, saith my soul: therefore, will I hope in Him".  This is a beautiful Bible verse that reassures us of the profound sense of hope and reliance on God's faithfulness and mercy that we are able to experience new every morning.  Each and every day as we wake up, we can be assured that the LORD (Jehovah God in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ in the New Testament - same person, same ONE God) is always present to uphold us.  When we ask God to enter into our lives, we enter an eternal covenant (promise) with Him that allows us to experience His love, peace and mercies that are new every morning.  When you wake up in the morning, just say THANK YOU, LORD.  Thank you for being present for me every single day, for equipping me for all that I will encounter this day, and for making a way for me to spend forever in Your presence.  What amazing blessings we have through His promises.  Praise God!

As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along or to win in our challenges.  We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly.  This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards).  You may link up to five (5) projects each week for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge.  Any entries over that limit will be deleted and will make you ineligible to win.  The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning.  It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and an encouragement to you as we share it.  If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "Challenge Rules".  Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines.   Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone.  We're not.  We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules.  Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.

Our scripture for this word art is Hebrews 13:8 and it says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever".  How beautiful!  These few simple words tell us exactly why we love and trust God SO much.  It's because He (God/Jesus Christ) is the same God right now today that He always has been (from the beginning of time) and that He always will be.  WHO He is never changes, WHAT He said never changes, what He DID on the cross changes us eternally, and His promises are true forever.  What a BLESSING to know that our God, Jesus Christ, never changes and that His truths and promises never change.  I praise God for being the AWESOME God He is, and for being so consistent and dependable.  Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever".

Weeks #706-707 - Anything Goes/Family Friendly

Welcome back, crafters!  It's time for another FUN and FABULOUS challenge here at Word Art Wednesday, and we couldn't be any happier to have YOU join us.  It's always more special when we're able to see everyone's creativity and have the opportunity to meet you and be inspired by the wonderful cards you all create to share with us.  We're grateful beyond words, and we praise God for you.  This challenge offers another brief devotional to encourage you, a (free) beautiful scripture word art file, lots of inspiration and an awesome prize from our generous sponsor.  Let's get started!

Our scripture in focus that was used to create the beautiful word art is Isaiah 54:17 and it reads, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD".  Remember, that when we see word LORD (in all capital letters) in the Old Testament, this is referring to God; and is the same name used for Jesus Christ in the New Testament.  So, when we read these Old Testament words, we know that it's telling us that no weapon (physical, emotional, nuclear, etc.) will ever come along that's too great for God.  He is God Almighty and is always in ultimate control.  Period.  No weapons, no words, schemes or plans can ever be dreamed up that will "confuse" or surprise God.  He knows everything.  God is in control.  God has promised us that He will protect us, that He is always watching over us to guide us, and that all we need to do is to trust Him.  What a blessing to know that He has things under control.  Don't spend time worrying, being upset, or spending countless hours trying to figure out what to do.  Lay it at the feet of Jesus, the LORD, God Almighty.  He alone can change things.  He alone controls things.  Let Him bless you today.  Just give it to Him and ask Him to show you all the ways He can prosper us and keep our enemies far from us. 

As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along or to win in our challenges.  We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly.  This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards).  You may link up to five (5) projects each week for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge.  Any entries over that limit will be deleted and will make you ineligible to win.  The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning.  It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and an encouragement to you as we share it.  If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "Challenge Rules".  Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines.   Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone.  We're not.  We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules.  Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.

Anything Goes - Weeks #704-705

Welcome!  Are you ready for another FUN and FAB challenge?  Well, we sure are glad to have you here to join in on all the fun we have planned for you.  We've got a bit of inspiration, a brief devotional to encourage you, and a great new challenge with an awesome sponsor.  It's always such a treat to have you play along with us and we really enjoy seeing your amazing creativity.

The Bible verse for our word art in this challenge is Ephesians 3:20 and it says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us".  What this verse is telling us is that we really should acknowledge God and give Him praise for being the amazing provider He is.  It also tells us that God is able to do far above all that we ask of Him or could even think to ask of Him because of His great power that works in us.  By trusting God with all He given us, we are assured that God will provide all our needs in ways we can't even imagine.  Life is difficult.  By giving it ALL to Him, we can be assured that God will always take care of us in a beautiful way.  Praise God!

As always, you are welcome to save the word art to your computer; but you are never required to use it in order to play along or to win in our challenges.  We welcome you to share all of your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family friendly.  This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards).  You may link up to five (5) projects each week for a total of ten (10) entries per two-week challenge.  Any entries over that limit will be deleted and will make you ineligible to win.  The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning.  It is our desire that God's Word will be a blessing and an encouragement to you as we share it.  If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules found under our Page tab marked "Challenge Rules".  Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to our guidelines.   Please know that this doesn't mean we are judging anyone.  We're not.  We are simply attempting to honor God and follow His rules.  Please let us know if you have any questions about anything; and thank you for your understanding and participation.
