I know this Scripture Challenge scrapbook page is late!! I do apologize. So many of you have left me beautiful comments and e-mails telling me how much these mean to you personally and that is so inspiring to me! I took the challenge because I always desire to know more and learn more about God and His Word but I have truly been transformed by the renewing of my mind as I read and study each week!
Last Wednesday I was supposed to post this and due to circumstances beyond my control this is actually the first opportunity I have had to share it with you. Here is my page:
I used the crown stamp from the Circle Sampler stamp set from The Angel Company. It's one of my favorites if you can't tell! I stamped it using VersaMark and then poured my silver embossing powder over that. I heat embossed it and no matter how much I do this I still love the effect! It's so kewl! The Christmas Red stickles I added for jewels in the crown are also from The Angel Company. I stamped my title using the Scriptybet alphabet stamp set from TAC.
The word for the week is Holy. The scriptures I used are from the King James Version. You can click the link to read them from Bible Gateway.It was so hard to narrow it down to just three! I had 13 scriptures that I had picked out but I really wanted to use these three so they made the cut! LOL
While studying the word Holy in the Bible I found a LOT of scriptures! Some of the scriptures speak about God's name being holy...just the mention of His name is speaking HOLY. Isn't that amazing? Sometimes we hear someone's name and it kind of matches their personality. I've often heard someone say, "You don't look like a ----" and fill in the blank with the person's name. Or sometimes someone will say I named my daughter a black name even though I tell them names have no colors and who cares if I did? I love my daughter's name! It means SANCTIFIED AND RADIANT! That is an awesome name to have!!! But God's name is even better than that for it is HOLY!
In further study I read scriptures that instruct us to live holy lives. Romans 12:1 says: Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. (NIV) So not only does the Bible say that God is holy and no one else can even compare (1 Samuel 2:2) that even His name is holy and we must become holy as well as our personal act of worship to HIM!!!
That is where I have the hardest time. I believe it's true! I want that for myself! I think it is something I have to strive for but I sometimes feel that I won't ever achieve that status. It is hard!
I have faults and failures.
I let people down.
I say the wrong things sometimes.
I mess up.
I have to get forgiveness every single day for the things I did wrong knowingly and unknowingly. One thing I know about God is that He is holy and He is the only one who can teach us, His children, how to be like Him. He is awesome!!!
God bless you!!!
Hugs,
