Challenge Weeks #234-235 - Anything Goes

Welcome back, friends!  It's time for another FUN challenge here at Word Art Wednesday.  We are SO glad that you've stopped by to join us.  We have two amazing sponsors this week, lots of great inspiration, and a scripture from God's Word to encourage you.

The scripture that was used to create our beautiful word art for this challenge is Proverbs 16:9.  It says, "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps".  First, this verse isn't talking about a wicked man (person), but someone who is instinctively following his conscience.  This man considers how he will go about attaining the things he desires in life.  When the LORD (God in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ in the New Testament) lives in our heart, the plan we'll devise to guide our life will obviously be a wise one that leads us in the right direction.  When we allow the LORD to direct our steps, He will lead us in the way we should go.  Life isn't easy, and it's not always a breeze just making the right decisions.  But when we have the LORD in our heart, and we listen to our heart when we make our decisions, He will direct us.  We will still face temptations and trials, but God always provides a way for us to do what's right and resist temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13), and He has promised that He will never leave us lonely (Hebrews 13:5).  We're very blessed to have God's Word. Each verse carries a blessing, and we hope this one has spoken to your heart.

As always, you are welcome to save the free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are not required to use it in order to play along in our challenges.   We welcome you share your all your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly, and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. This includes any type of altered or digital art (not just limited to cards).  You may link up to five (5) projects each week. 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 encouragement to you as we share it. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "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 simply atempting to honor God and follow His rules.  Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for your understanding and participation!

that it will be a blessing to you.
