Welcome back to Word Art Wednesday, everyone. Thanks so much for being here to join our challenge, to hopefully get some encouragement from our brief devotional, to get some inspiration, and to play along/link up for another chance to win a prize from our awesome sponsor. It's always a real treat to see all your amazing art linked up in our gallery, and we appreciate every single entry we receive. You're all SO talented. We are SO blessed, also, by all the amazing sponsors God has provided for our challenges, and I am very blessed and excited to announce that our 2027 Sponsor Calendar is now full. Praise God! We will be sticking around for at least another year. So, let the fun continue!
Our word art was created using the Bible verse Psalm 16:11 which says, "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore". This lovely and encouraging verse couldn't be any clearer or more straight-forward. God is literally telling us that He WILL show us the correct "path of life" that He's planned for us when we submit our lives completely to Him. It also tells us that when we do fully emerse our lives in Him and remain in His constant daily presence; we will experience "fullness of joy". Many people think they know what joy feels like, but when God promises us "fullness of joy"; this is something even more wonderful, peaceful and comforting than most people have ever experienced. It's a level of peace that's been offered, and is waiting before each of us, and to know it and experience it; all we have to do is "stay in His presence and remain at His right hand". This verse also reminds us that when we truly live our lives "at God's right hand" (in His constant presence and continually seeking/following His will/His plan for us), there are pleasures forevermore. This is yet another clear promise of eternal life and a reassurance that Heaven is a very real place where we will have the joy and privilege of spending forevermore in the presence of our Holy, Righteous, AMAZING God. What a wonderful promise from the Word of God. This verse promises us "fullness of joy" and "pleasures forevermore". That definitely beats "eternal punishment" (Matthew 25:46), "a lake of sulfur..tormented day and night forever" (Revelation 20:10), or "a fiery furnace...with weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:49-50). There are only two choices after our lives on Earth. There's a literal Heaven with God forever, or a literal Hell without God forever. The choice is completely ours to make. The Good News about God, the LORD, Jesus Christ, is that He fully paid the price for our sin debt by dying on the cross as our perfect sacrifice and rising again after three days, then going to prepare Heaven for those who place their faith in Him. It's really that simple, and you CAN KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE. Joshua 24:15 ".......Choose ye this day whom you will serve;....as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD".
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.
