Hello to all our creative friends! We're so glad you're back again for our new challenge. It's a blessing to us every time you stop by to share your wonderful creations with us, and we're grateful for your participation. We have a really fun sponsor this week, a beautiful piece of word art, and lots of great inspiration for you; so let's get started.
Our word art was created using the verse Psalm 33:11 which says, "The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations". Let's look at this verse and break it down. First we read "the counsel of the Lord", and this refers to THE PURPOSE of the Lord (or what He wants for us). Next we read, "standeth forever" which means that it will be carried out and will never change". This is one of the most precious things about God's Word. It was, and is, and ALWAYS will be the same. Unlike other religions whose doctrines flip-flop and change over time, God's Word is UNCHANGING because it is perfect, complete, solid and true. It means exactly what it means, and will never change. Praise God for that! Time can't change God's word, and men can't change God's word (unlike other religions' doctrines). Next we read "the thoughts of his heart", and this refers to all the things God has designed and that He wishes to be accomplished. And finally, the last part says "to all generations", which is a beautiful reminder that His purpose (His desires for us) are passed down from one generation of men (from the beginning of creation) to the next for ALL TIME. So, let's put all these parts together to see what God is telling us in this verse. It basically says that the purpose of the Lord (what He wants for us) will be carried out and will never change. The things that God designed and wishes to be accomplished will never change from one generation to the next. What a blessing to know that His doctrines and principles are consistent, pure, and unending. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow; and He is the ONLY WAY to Heaven. We hope this verse will be a blessing to you this week.
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!

Beautiful creations by the DT!!
Ah a blessing indeed that our Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever, what reassurance we have in Him.
Our God does not require that we crawl on our hands and knees to some holy place to be sure of heaven or any other such task of any sort, action is only required as a matter of faith...
Faith in His way of salavtion...and this way is equally unchanging and secure by faith/ trust in Him. PraiseHim thanks for your wonderful posts and digis and great work by the DT !!!
Thanks so much for the inspiration,

Fabulous Devotional this week! It is so true JESUS is the ONLY way and Jesus is the Son of God and He is God - no one comes to the Father but through Jesus - I was listening to Ravi Zacharias this week - he is an amazing Christian - so full of knowledge of God's Word and able to answer so many questions - a true scholar of the Bible in my opinion - when I need encouragement and need answers to questions He is able to direct me to the scripture for TRUTH so we, as Christians can stand Firm on God's Word and expectation. Congrats to Janeen the winner and Welcome to Princess Jones as Guest Designer - have a blessed week!
thank you for the challenge. Lovely work by the design team.
