One of a Kind

 There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and Your name is great in might. Jeremiah 10:6

Hello Friends!

Today I'm in Jeremiah 10; and we're going to talk about how great our God is! Jeremiah 10:6 tells us that there is no one like our God. Do you believe that? It's a question we should ask ourselves. The fact is just that. There is no one and no thing like our God. But do we live in a way that proves we believe that?

No one, nothing, should have our attention, our devotion, our worship, our hearts, except for God Himself. Daily, believers are tempted to put their trust and their allegiance in worldly things. But, friends, the Lord will continually show Himself to be superior. There is none like Him! 

Don't let the world sway you from Him. Don't let the world put Him in a box or wrap Him up like a pretty little package. Don't let the world tell you who He is. Go to the Bible and let God tell you who He is. And let me tell you, He's pretty great!

Page Details: I used the following Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets: God is Faithful, Send Me, Faith Wordfetti Too, Let's Do This, and the Grunge Grid stencil. I applied distress oxides to the page with blender brushes for the background. I added texture to the background with the stencil and some back ground stamps. With the Faith Wordfetti Too set, I arranged a few of the phrases on a stamp block and stamped them together for the background words. I colored the earth with colored pencils. 

Have a blessed week! Andrea

Great is Your Faithfulness

 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 
his mercies never come to an end; 
they are new every morning; 
great is your faithfulness. 
'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 
'therefore I will hope in him.'"
Lamentations 3:22-24

We had a wonderful virtual retreat weekend in our Creative Worship Facebook Group talking about God's faithfulness, and is there any better song to sing about God's faithfulness than the classic hymn by Thomas Chisholm, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! "Great is Thy faithfulness!"  "Great is Thy faithfulness!" Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided "Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord, unto me!

I've been steadily humming this song for the last several days, dwelling on God's faithfulness to me. 🧡

Page Details

This is probably one of the simplest, yet beautiful pages I've done. It's simply a gelato background and stamps. I blended two gelato colors with my finger, and stamped the flowers and title using the brand new God is Faithful stamp set from my friend Deeds. It coincided perfectly with our virtual retreat! I then used a light coral color ink to stamp the coral sprigs behind the darker black flowers to add some dimension to the page. It only took a few minutes to create and yet, I have been soaking in the scripture and meaning for the last three days. That, my friends, is what Bible Journaling is all about! 

 

I pray you dwell on God's faithfulness this week. 

Love in Christ, 

Janelle
