What do you choose

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:!5

Which God do you serve, the Gods of the world or the God – Jehovah?

We are all given free will; it is our decision to choose our God.  I have chosen to be in Christ, have you?  By my choice I know that I am saved and no longer have to suffer from the pains of the past.  Would you like to be free and turn your life around?  It is really simple all you have to do is acknowledge that Jesus died for our sins. Paul in Romans 10:9 – 10 says it beautifully. That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

It is as simple as that. It is your choice!

(The Lord is my Shepherd is one of my all-time favourites even before I was a Christian.  For ages I wanted to have it on my wall.  I was going through some of my old art and came across this collage which I did while I was at Polytechnic.  So I photographed it and played with the colours in Photoshop and added the text.  Now, I have framed it and it hangs over my bed.)

Word Art Wednesday

Hi, its Sharon from Stand on Faith here. As part of my plan to focus this year, I am going to produce scriptural word art on my art blog, Art Inspires, every Thursday (Wednesday to most of you). It will be linked to WordArt Wednesday, where a scriptural prompt is provided and you design art, a card or something creative around that theme. I will continue to enter an entry from my devotional blog – Stand on Faith, which will focus on the scripture provided, later in the week. Here, I will choose scripture that is closely related. I have been asked by an Australian card company to send them work that will be suitable for devotional cards of encouragement. This is the first design for my portfolio.

This weeks prompt is Psalm 51:10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Which means that as we live in a broken world our hearts can be easily corrupted, and so we must ask God to continually cleanse our hearts to be at one with him. We might fool people around us that our hearts are right, but God knows our hearts, we can not hide from him. I find that the scripture I chose today Samuel 16:7 encouraging, as it reminds me that God judges us by our faith and character, not our outward appearance. While everyone can see your face, only you and God know what your heart really looks like.

The artwork – The photo is of my hoya that is blooming at the moment. It is an fascinating plant with a heady perfume, but a nasty habit of dripping nectar all over the floor. The background started out by being a photo of some corrugated iron that I changed in Photoshop. I then put it all together in Photoshop and then added noise to marry the components.

Thanks for visiting and blessings for the coming week.
