ABC Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #3 - CONFIDENCE

For this fortnight Patter has given us the word "CONFIDENCE" to use for our artwork and choice of scriptures.  Years ago I had come across this verse in Job so I knew straight away which verse I wanted to use for my art but I also wanted a positive one and found a great verse in Proverbs.
The Lord wants us to put our confidence in Him and Him alone. We are not to find confidence solely in ourselves, others or even possessions if we do that we will fail.

The spider web photo on my page was a photo I took a couple of years ago and knew that one day it would come in handy.

For my digital art I used a kit called "RSVP" by Erica Hite  

ABC Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #2 - BIBLE

 

For this fortnight Patter gave us the word "Bible" for our artwork.   This month our Pastor is doing a series of sermons on " The Reliability of Scripture", so it was not very difficult at all for me to choose which scripture to use on my page. 

We have a book of instructions on how we should live our lives and so often we ignore it and go our own way. I know I fail often and do not read the Bible as much as I ought to.  

For my digital art I used the following:  Floral paper from a kit called Well Loved by Mellissa Renfro; Leaf Vine from a kit called New Spring by Mandog Scraps

ABC Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #1 - ANCHOR

This year Patter is going through the alphabet for our Scripture Challenges. For this first one she chose the word "ANCHOR" for us to use.

God in His perfect timing guided Patter in her choice as yesterday at Church the final song sang was "Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life". I have shared the first verse of the song on my artwork.
Our Pastor's teaching was centred around this verse. One of his final statements was -
"The reason for this message today is to encourage you with Hope and confidence as you face the challenges of this year. We do not know what lies before us this year - but one thing you can be sure of. When we place our Faith and Trust in Christ for Salvation we are anchored into Heaven itself - and all the resources we need for life and living are to be found in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ."

For my digital art I used a kit called Sand and Sea by Nutkin Tailz Designs.

ABC Scripture

Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #26 - REPRESENT

This is the last Scripture Challenge for this year. Patter gave us the word "Represent" to use. Her devotional thoughts centred around the fact that as Christians we are Jesus representatives here on earth and we should show Jesus to all those we come in contact with by the way we live.

When I looked on Bible Gateway I came up with the scripture I have used. This is a scripture which states that Jesus is God the Father's representative. He came to this world as a helpless baby and grew to be the Lamb that was slain for our sins. My page, I hope shows both those truths about Jesus - His humble birth and His sacrificial death.

Credits for my digital page: Background paper is by Jenn Gigowski, overlay by Rowena Field, light burst by Laitha Designs.


Next year I plan on continuing to follow Patter in the Scripture Challenges she sets. I enjoy her devotional thoughts and enjoy creating art to illustrate God's word.


May whoever reads this have a safe and Holy Christmas.

Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #25 - WORTH

Patter gave us the word "Worth" to work with and I chose this verse which has this word and tells of our worth to God. To get the full picture of our worth you need to read some of the verses preceding this one - from Matthew 10:28-31. These verses speak of how God watches over the sparrows.

The digital products I used for my page come from a kit called White Christmas by the designers at Go Digital Scrapbooking. The fonts I used are Showcard Gothic and Palace Script. The photo I found of the web somewhere.

Scripture Challenge with Patter Cross - #24 - HELP

For this fortnight Patter has given us the word "Help" for our artwork. When I searched Bible Gateway ( a great website for finding scriptures ) I came across this verse from the Psalms and felt it was one I needed to share and also to take hold of for myself. God is my help - He is my shield and He will protect me. So I do need to put my hope in Him.
Please, anyone reading this make the verse personal to yourself also.

For my digital artwork I have used a kit called "Friendship Needs No Words" by the designers at Nuts 4 Digi.
