Anything Goes - Weeks #702-703

Welcome back to the best challenge blog around! We're so happy and blessed to have you share your amazing creativity with us and we're always so grateful for your participation. This new challenge, once again, features a lovely brief devotional to encourage you, some fabulous inspiration and another amazing sponsor. We hope you're ready for lots of FUN.

The scripture verse of focus is 2 Timothy 2:1 and it reads, "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus". This verse is not only a remind to each of us that we need to be very strong in our faith, but that we should also be sharing it our children and grandchildren. (ref: my son) You might ask how a person becomes strong (or stronger) in their faith. It's an ongoing process that involves drawing close to God, reading and studying His Word, removing worldly distractions and by living a daily life that is pleasing to Him. As we learn more about God, we draw close to Him and our faith increases. The more our faith increases, the more blessed we become. We are calm, we know our purpose (the purpose God has for us), we feel God's constant presence, and we become very strong in our faith. What steps are you taking in your daily life to help you "be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus"? God's grace forgives us, but God's presence in our lives blesses us. Make today the day you purpose in your heart to do ALL you do for the glory of God. As you draw close to Him, He will draw close to you. Go ahead.....be BLESSED by God and be strong.

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 - #700-701

Welcome back for yet another FUN and FABULOUS challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. This is, in our humble opinion, the best challenge blog of all. And for this particular challenge, we have TWO amazing sponsors. That means you have even more chances of winning; so we hope that you'll be sure to share all your art with us during the next two weeks. This will increase your odds of winning. We also hope that our brief devotional (below) will be a blessing and an encouragement to you. Thanks so much for stopping by to join in on all the fun. We're SO glad you're here.

Our scripture of focus in this beautiful word art is 150:6 and it says, "Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the Lord". I don't think I really even need to explain this particular verse. It says exactly what it means. Each of us needs to remember that we serve a mighty, a perfect, an all-knowing God who knows everything about us and loves us unconditionally. We often forget to give Him all the praise that he deserves. Let's all do our very best to make an effort to give God praise every single day and in every single situation. In good times and in bad, just PRAISE GOD and let Him know how much you love and appreciate Him. He is nothing short of amazing, and we should give Him the utmost respect and let Him know all the time that He is worthy of praise and that we WILL acknowledge Him the way He deserves to be honored and praised.

Anything Goes - Weeks #669-670

Welcome back by, friends. We're so super glad you're here to join us for another FUN challenge. God has been BLESSING once again, and our Sponsor Calendar for 2025 is FULL. PRAISE GOD! We love and appreciate having you play along in our challenges, and it's our greatest hope that our challenges are a blessing and encouragement to you. Please know that we care about you, about your spiritual condition, and we're here to encourage you if you need us. We also love seeing your amazing art each week. Thanks for being here.

The scripture used for our word art during this challenge is 1 Timothy 5:17 and it says, "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine". This verse is speaking about elders or pastors - those who are serving and preaching in the church. The verse tells these people to be counted worthy of double honor. It's a reminder to them that, because they are in a position of leadership and teaching, they need to be found "worthy" of the calling and position. Each pastor, or elder, in the church who is supported by their church needs to be sure that they are never becoming lazy or complacent. In the same fashion, God expect each of us to be found "worthy" of our calling. We all have a responsibility to serve God, to teach others with the knowledge we have (especially Biblical knowledge), and to always remember that others are watching us. Our behaviors, good or bad, will affect others. We will either be a blessing or a hinderance to others; especially those who are less spiritually mature. Let this be a reminder to each of us to always seek wisdom and to truly care about being worthy of what God has given us. No matter what your level of spiritual/Biblical maturity is, always be sure to use it for God's glory and to be a blessing in the lives of those we encounter.

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. 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.
