Global Wake-Up Call

Hello Precious Ones! 

It’s a very sobering time in the world, and I pray you are staying well and safe during this horrible pandemic. It is definitely a GLOBAL WAKE-UP CALL. If ever there was a time to humble ourselves and cry out to God for His intervention, it is now. When we realize that we don’t have complete control of our lives, it’s very humbling. When we realize that we are not the captain of our ship, we can feel helpless in the storm-tossed waves of life.

But the good news is that THE ALMIGHTY, EL SHADDAI, the ONE who sits on the throne and rules the universe is in ULTIMATE control. And He has given us His Word to guide us. In His Word, we will find the answers we desperately need.

When we seek God, we can count on Him to speak to us and mostly through the Scriptures. As you read the following Scriptures, take special notice of the part where God is speaking and He says, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people… “

Notice, it’s God that is doing it. Hmm. 

 

The Lord Appears to Solomon

2 Chronicles 7:11–22

“When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, the Lord appeared to him at night and said:

“I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

“As for you, if you walk before me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.’

“But if you[ turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. This temple will become a heap of rubble. All who pass by will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”

You have to admit that as a nation and throughout the world, things are not as God originally intended. Sin is rampant. God is mocked and dishonored. And by LEGAL CHOICE, over 125,000 innocent babies are murdered in the womb DAILY throughout the world. A good and loving God CANNOT ignore such horror. A God of justice HAS to wake us up. Yes, this pandemic is HORRIBLE that thousands are dying daily throughout the world, but it will be MORE HORRIBLE if it DOESN’T wake us up.

2 Chronicles 7:14 

“… if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Heavenly Father, help us to humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face and turn from any ways that are not pleasing to You. Forgive us Lord. Heal us and heal our land. Amen.

Fear Not

SHARING MY HEART AND PASSION
FOR CREATIVITY, FINE ART AND THE BIBLE

Hello Dear Ones,

At the time of this writing, we are facing the horrible Coronavirus pandemic. Life as we know it has been turned upside down for many of us. Churches are shutting their doors, but thankfully, many can still stream their services online. Stores are out of basic supplies like toilet paper! Many are not at all prepared for anything like this. I wish I could say this will all blow over and life will get back to “normal.” But that is not necessarily so.

We live in perilous times, and we need to live close to God every moment. Most likely everyone reading this is either in a crisis, coming out of a crisis or preparing to go into one. This is life in 2020. And if you read the Scriptures, you know that much worse is coming. 

But the GOOD NEWS is that God is still on the throne and always will be! And we can come through any trial and crisis victoriously as we stay hidden under the shadow of HIS wings.

I hope you are staying well and practicing wisdom in all your decisions. I want to encourage you to “FEAR NOT” and look to the Lord during these times. I hope you are trusting HIM with your life. I know It’s easier said than done at times, but we must not allow our thinking to go in the direction of the ditch and hopelessness.

Here are some Scriptures to meditate on that can get us through this crisis victoriously:

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Psalm 91:7

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

Dear Ones, while I’m home working on my inspirational sculptures, I hope everyone reading this will be inspired by God’s promises in His Word and His faithfulness. We have a great cloud of witnesses in heaven cheering us on to victory! Stay well.

But before you say goodbye, take a look at my sculptures and be inspired by the characters in the Bible who also faced trials. 

Blessings,

Sherry

Honor God’s Name

Hi,

I hope all is well with you!

I’m continuing on with a short blurb on each of the Ten Commandments, and we are at the third commandment, which is found in Exodus 20:7.

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

What does this mean?

Volumes could be written on all that this actually means, but to put it simply, it means we are never to dishonor the Lord by using His name or speaking about Him in any dishonoring way. 

The names of God reveal His amazing character, and we are commanded to respect and hold Him in the highest regard and esteem Him above all others. He deserves our highest praise and adoration, and when we speak His name or refer to Him in ANY way, we need to be sure it is with utmost honor. 

God ALWAYS has our best in mind, and if He commands something, you can be sure, it is to protect us from being deceived and defiled. He is good and loving, and following Him will always put and keep us on the right path.

I hope you take the opportunity to order one of my Moses sculptures to remind you of God’s goodness. My Moses and the Ten Commandments sculptures are on this page. 

Blessings,

Sherry
