It's time for another fun challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. Can you believe that it's already October? Christmas is like 70 some days away and I'm not ready. How about you? Well, maybe you can get some inspiration to here to get working on some of those Christmas cards. We sure enjoy seeing all your wonderful entries, and we wish everyone the best of luck in the random draw for our fabulous prize from the awesome sponsor for this challenge.
The word art scripture for this challenge comes from Ephesians 6:10 in the Holy Bible. What a treat God's Word is to us. This verse says, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of His might". It's reminding us to lean on God and to utilize the strength He alone offers us. We're told elsewhere in God's Word that "His strength is made perfect in our weakness" and in Psalm 46:1 it says that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble". God also tells us in Isaiah 41:10 "I will strengthen you and help you, I will hold you with my righteous right hand". As humans, we're going to experience weakness at times physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, etc. But the good news here is that God knows we're weak. He knows this because He created us. He wants us to lean on Him because He created us to lean on Him for all we need. God reminds us over and over again that He wants to be our strength when we're weak or troubled. The problem is that, far too often, we forget to lean on Him OR...we refuse to lean on Him. Next time you're feeling weak - either mentally, emotionally, physical or whatever...remember to CALL ON HIM and to LEAN ON HIM. When we ASK God to give us strength, He WILL surely give us His perfect strength in every situation. Don't lean on your own power all the time. You'll continue to fail. By allowing God to make us strong, we're able to accomplish all He's called us to do and to attain all He wants to bless us with. Lean on Him, let Him in, and experience the true "power of His might" and the #blessedlife that comes only from allowing Him to be our strength, our hope, our everything.
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 for each 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.
