Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes

Hello, creative friends, and welcome back for another FUN challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. We are SO grateful for you and we appreciate you for joining us. It's always so much fun to see all your sweet cards and projects linked up in our gallery. We hope that by now your new year is off to a great start. PRAISE GOD that we were, once again, able to fill our Sponsor Calendar for 2026. I've always said that I'll continue this little challenge blog for as long as God chooses to bless us and to provide the Sponsors we need. If and when the time comes that I don't feel Him leading me to continue, we will make some changes. But for now, GOD IS BLESSING us "exceedingly abundantly" above all our most crazy expectations. You can see all our 2026 Sponsors by visiting the Sponsor Page. Then you'll know when your favorite company/companies are offering prizes.

The scripture used to create this lovely piece of word art is Psalm 56:9 which reads, "When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me". Each one of the Psalms is a true blessing; and collectively, this Book of the Bible is a treasure trove of wisdom to bless our lives. God purposely gave to us, through the men who penned the Holy Bible, the exact words He wanted us to have until He returns for us. Each word, sentence, chapter, book, etc. is purposeful and intentional. In this particular verse, David is assuring us (and even himself at the time) of God's continuous and unfailing support in every circumstance. God revealed Himself to David and reminded him of His continuous presence and support, especially in times of distress. Often times, we forget to truly connect with God and to talk with Him, praise Him and thank Him the way we should (continually...every day) when things are going well in our lives. Too many times, we wait until we're in those moments of distress and turmoil before we truly draw close(r) to Him. By remembering EVERY DAY 24/365 to really connect with God, to seek to know Him (read and study His word), to strive to live for Him and to give Him the praise He deserves always, we begin to realize just how much "God really is for us". In good times or in bad times, God is always near. He's longing to hear from us, and He wants for us to know Him and to lean on Him (especially in times of trouble). Please, dear friends, don't miss out on the sweet fellowship and the blessings of the Lord that come every moment of every day by living for Him and by seeking after the Lord, Jesus Christ. He alone is God and He alone is the (only) way to Heaven where we can rest eternally assured that we will never be separated from Him. Today is the perfect time to "cry unto God" because "He will cause your enemies to turn back" and we can KNOW these promises because "God is for us". 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 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.
