God Keeps His Promises

Shalom Dear Ones! 

I hope you are staying well and in the shalom of God.

Life has certainly changed during this worldwide pandemic, and many of the things that we have taken for granted and relied on have come to a halt.

But God’s Word has not changed, and we can ALWAYS rely on Him to uphold His Word. His Word is an anchor to our soul. When circumstances, trials and tribulations attempt to bring swirling winds of anxiety, we can stay in perfect peace when God’s Word is kept in the forefront of our minds and on our lips.

God has given His people many promises in His Word. And GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.

Even when life throws a huge curve ball making it look impossible for His promises to be fulfilled, HE IS FAITHFUL.

But He does require us to remain faithful and trust Him to perform His Word.

For instance, Abraham was given specific promises, and although in the natural, they looked impossible at times, God proved Himself faithful. And He will do it again and again.

Let’s read Genesis 17:1-8

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”

“Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.  I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.  I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”

What promise are you waiting for God to fulfill in your life? Be patient, faithful and steadfast, and He will bring it to pass.

Heavenly Father,

Help me to trust You and remain faithful to You no matter what. Give me the revelation in Your Word that will build an anchor in my soul to keep me stable in times of trouble.

Amen.

The End Times

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

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

Hello Dear Ones! 

We are living in very surreal times. The Bible is unfolding daily before us. It’s time to seek God and KNOW Him, His Word and His voice. When we are walking with God, there is comfort in knowing that He holds the world in His hands, and nothing surprises Him. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He is like no other. We can trust Him COMPLETELY with our lives no matter what happens on this earth. It may look like everything is falling apart, yet HE IS STILL ON THE THRONE. And actually a lot of things are coming together and quickly. Life as we have known it has dramatically changed. We can’t climb under a rock or stick our heads in the sand to avoid everything going on around us.

Be reassured that GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL. The world system may be spinning out of control, but GOD’S KINGDOM WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN NOR WILL IT EVER COME TO AN END. In fact, God’s Kingdom is advancing and soon we will see even more Scripture unfold.

In the Book of Daniel, the Scriptures speak of THE END TIMES. Clearly, we are now living in the end times. And watching Israel (GOD’S LAND) is vitally important to knowing what’s ahead. Michael the Archangel has the job of watching over Israel.

It’s not uncommon to have a hard time understanding some Scriptures. But just reading the Scriptures gives you the opportunity to be enlightened to the Truth. Ask God to reveal the meaning as you read.

Let’s read Daniel Chapter 12

“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”

7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”

8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.”

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. Give us revelation for the times that we now live in and how to prepare for the days ahead. Amen.

 

Blessings,

Sherry

Run to God

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

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

Shalom Precious Ones,

I hope you are staying well during this COVID-19 global pandemic. This is a time to call on God and cry out to Him in our distress. Many are running TO God during this painful time, but unfortunately, there are also those who are running AWAY from God because they don’t realize that He is THE ANSWER and THE SOURCE OF HELP that our world desperately needs. Feeling helpless is not a comfortable feeling. Recognizing that we are dependent on God’s mercy and grace every moment of our lives can be humbling. But humility is a good thing. 

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2 (NIV)

“Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4 

“Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 18:12

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

“He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.” Proverbs 3:34

Jonah, the Biblical character, was a man with a divine assignment from God. But when God gave Jonah a tough job to do, he ran AWAY from God instead of running TO God and calling on HIS grace, mercy and strength. 

“But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.” Joan 1:3

But eventually AFTER Jonah suffered for running AWAY from God, he turned TO God and cried out in his distress, and God answered his cry.

He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.” Jona 2:2

God is faithful! We MUST get that revelation if we are going to be able to stand in these perilous times. 

NO MATTER WHAT—WE NEED TO RUN TO GOD FOR HIS MERCY, GRACE, STRENGTH and POWER TO STAND. He cares and loves us more than we could ever comprehend in our finite minds. 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Heavenly Father, help us to be steadfast in our faith and trust in YOU, no matter what. Remind us to run TO YOU and not from You, especially when we are going through trials, struggles and any crisis. You are there waiting to impart the strength we need.

Amen.

 

Blessings,

Sovereignty of God

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

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

Hello Dear Ones! 

Have you ever wondered where God is when the world seems to be spinning out of control? 

I can assure you, according to Scripture, nothing escapes His watchful eyes.

Proverbs 15:3
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”

FACT: If God has planned something and wants it to come to pass, He can move heaven and earth to accomplish it.

 

Job 42:2
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”

FACT: Moses had a God-given destiny and purpose to fulfill. And although an evil king’s plan could have ended Moses’ life when he was born, God had HIS plans for Moses, and therefore, overruled with His sovereignty.

Let’s read Exodus 1:8-22:

8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.” Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with [a]rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.

15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive. So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?”

19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they [b]are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.”

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and [c]grew very mighty. And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.

22 So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

>>>As we read on, we see that God had an amazing plan to save Moses for his future destiny that would affect millions.

Exodus 2:1-10

And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 

2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 

3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 

6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. 

9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 

10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

As we know, God’s plan prevailed to bring forth Moses even though an enemy of God planned otherwise. Our God is an awesome God! And He is sovereign. Let’s never forget that. He deserves all of our honor, worship, adoration, reverence  and obedience. We can fully trust Him with our lives, no matter what. 

Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

Psalm 62:8
“Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah”

Isaiah 66:1-2

“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. 

“These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.”

Our loving God is a sovereign God. I pray our nation and the world will humble ourselves under His mighty hand and His sovereignty.

Blessings,

Sherry

Global Wake-Up Call

Biblical Sculpture by Sherry Heller

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

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.

Sherry
