Fear Not

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

“Okay, Okay, I’ll Go… “

Hello Precious Ones! 

Have you ever felt in your heart or had a thought in your mind that the Lord wanted you to do or say something, but instead of doing it, you backed out and didn’t follow through? Perhaps you didn’t want to put yourself in a situation where you might feel uncomfortable or possibly look foolish?

I think a lot of us have experienced that.

Did you have regret later and wish you’d just followed through on the unction?

Well, hopefully you didn’t end up wrapped in a bunch of seaweed and whale slime like Jonah!

I love the story of Jonah in the Bible. It gives a clear picture of the importance of obeying God and how it’s to our benefit to simply say, “Yes, Lord” as soon as He speaks because one never knows what lengths He will go to in order to get our attention if we run away from Him or turn a deaf ear. 

I hope you enjoy the cartoon I drew depicting Jonah’s surrender to the Lord… finally.

Jonah seems like such a character. I really look forward to meeting him and hearing more about how his Nineveh assignment went. I’m looking forward to meeting all the Biblical characters in glory! What a great time of rejoicing that will be!

We Are the Clay

Shalom Dear Ones,

I pray you’re having a blessed day or night wherever you may be.

I really enjoy working on my sculptures. Creativity is very therapeutic.

We are made in the image of God, and He has given each of us talents and gifts that fulfill an innate desire to be productive. He gave us that desire to be productive and fruitful to not only satisfy our hearts but also to bring Him glory. 

And creativity is in our God-given DNA!

Our Heavenly Father is the Master Sculptor, and He knows exactly how to make and mold us for our good and His glory.

Isaiah 64:8 says it well:

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
    We are the clay, you are the potter;
    we are all the work of your hand.” (NIV)

I pray you are using your God-given gifts and talents to bring glory to the One who deserves THE HIGHEST PRAISE!

Blessings,

Sherry

No Coveting

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

SHARING MY HEART AND PASSION

Hello there!

We’re wrapping up writing on the Ten Commandments. Today we’re on the 10th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

I will never cease to be awed by God when I read the Bible, and I believe every word of it.

The 10th Commandment is found in Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Covet means to want or desire what does not belong to you. Well, today that’s a tough one for a lot of people, especially those who are trying to keep up with the Joneses and the reality shows. The carnal, fleshly nature of mankind can never be satisfied.

Thankfully, God’s ways are not like our ways. I love what He says in Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Advertisements bombard us daily, trying to make us think we need so many things to make us happy, and often it may seem like the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, but most of it is false advertisement and wrong thinking. And most of the time, if not all of the time, it all leads to emptiness and longing for something that will never satisfy.

How wonderful that we can have the mind of God when we study His word and come to know Him and His ways.

His thoughts and His ways will ALWAYS lead us to ultimate triumph and victory. Knowing Him and walking with Him is more satisfying, fulfilling and thrilling than anything else this world can offer. 

Let’s thank Him today for His grace, mercy and strength that enables us to live a life that honors Him. Let’s live a grateful life. 

Before you leave, take a few moments to check out my sculptures of Moses and the Ten Commandments on this page! 

 

Blessings,

You Shall Not Give False Testimony Against Your Neighbor

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

SHARING MY HEART AND PASSION

Hello Dear Ones!

We’re almost wrapping it up on the Ten Commandments. Today we;re on the 9th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai. 

The 9th commandment is “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16

Giving a “false testimony” means saying anything untrue to someone or about someone.

This is also one of the 6 things the Lord hates, as seen in Proverbs 6:16-19 

16 There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
    a lying tongue,
    hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
    feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
    and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

The things that God hates are all things that bring people much pain and heartache. He truly does want the very best for us. And we can avoid much trouble and heartache in life by obeying God’s commands and living a life that honors Him.

With His grace, mercy and strength, we can live a life that pleases Him.

I hope you take a few moments to check out my sculptures of Moses and the Ten Commandments on this page! 

 

Blessings,

Sherry
