WORD ART WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE
Wednesday 22nd May 2012
Today I am taking part in a card challenge set out by Word Art Wednesday, and I'm using the scripture provided for the challenge.
My choice of card is a CraftsUprint card designed by Helen Williams, which shows the rugged Scottish countryside, walking boots and compass and map.
The reason I chose this is because the scripture says:
For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a
sound mind.
2 Timothy 1 verse 7
When you go hill walking and see the rugged natural beauty of the earth I believe you instinctively know that God is watching over every step you take. There is no need to fear or let the elements overcome you. Just keep walking one step before the other. In my life the compass and map is the Word of God.......His inspired word............our Bible. and I am grateful for the wisdom it holds.
Our journeys in this life on earth can be faced in fear or in the power of God. Fear will bring doubt, ill health, worry and anxiety. God says that perfect love casts out fear. His perfect love in us casts out fear, it is not something we can do or try to do on our own. This has been a daily struggle for me and I am slowly learning to use the power that God has put within me......His power and His love, which brings me a sound mind.

I hope you like my card.
