Scripture Art by Beth Auman

Jul12

When the Word of God is displayed in an artful way, it invites us to pause, see, meditate, proclaim, and share His truth with others.

“These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart… and you are to write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates.”

— Deuteronomy 6:6–9 (CJB)

The Word of God stands complete and sufficient on its own—we can all open our Bibles and read it. Yet Abba has called each of us to use the gifts He has entrusted to us, not to hide them, but to steward them for His glory.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good managers of God’s varied grace.”

— 1 Peter 4:10 (CJB)

“No one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand, so that those coming in may see the light.”

— Luke 8:16 (CJB)

Throughout Scripture, we are invited to see, behold, remember, and meditate on His works and His Word.

“Taste, and see that Adonai is good.”

— Psalm 34:8 (CJB)

“Open my eyes, so that I will see wonders from your Torah.”

— Psalm 119:18 (CJB)

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

— Psalm 119:105 (CJB)

It is my prayer that these Scripture Art creations simply help you pause long enough to behold the beauty of His truth.

May Abba pour out upon you the Ruach HaKodesh—the Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and the Fear of Adonai.

“The Spirit of Adonai will rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of Adonai.”

— Isaiah 11:2 (CJB)

May He renew your mind, open the eyes of your understanding, and guide your steps along His well-lit path for your life.

Romans 12:2 • Ephesians 1:17–18 • Psalm 119:105

In Yeshua’s Name. Amen.

As I have leaned into the creative gifts Abba has graciously entrusted to me, I have discovered that art often speaks to our hearts in unique and deeply personal ways. At times, it carries a prophetic whisper that reaches beyond words alone. My prayer is that, as one of His well-formed arrows in His quiver, each Scripture Art piece is directed by His hand and finds the heart He intends to encourage, strengthen, comfort, or awaken.

“He has made my mouth like a sharp sword… He has made me into a polished arrow, in His quiver He hid me away.”

— Isaiah 49:2 (TLV)

If even one of these Spirit-led offerings helps draw you closer to Yeshua, then every moment spent creating it has been worthwhile.

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

— 1 Corinthians 10:31

To His Name Alone Be the Glory.

Soli Deo Gloria

Blessings and Shalom—Love Beyond Measure,

Scripture for the week of July 5, 2020
By JoBeth Kested

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! Psalm 118:14-15 (NLT)

Are you one of those people that can’t carry a tune and prefer to sing in the shower where no one else can hear? Sometimes we just need to make a joyful noise to the Lord anyway because He is worthy to be praised! This Psalm was most likely written by King David, who was known as a mighty warrior of Israel accomplishing many great exploits in the name of the the Lord. He humbly declares in these verses that it is the Lord’s strength that has given him the victory and therefore the reason to worship and sing His praise. He proclaims that the godly sing songs of joy and victory when they gather together to celebrate because the strength of the Lord helps us accomplish glorious things. May we also sing the songs of rejoicing and triumph because of the many mighty things the Lord has done and continues to do in our lives as we daily trust in Him. Praise the Lord, God Almighty, Who is Worth to be praised!

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Isaiah 40:28-29 (NLT)

No matter how talented, strong or accomplished we may be, there always comes a time in each of our lives when we are faced with our human frailty and limitations. Simply stated these scriptures are declaring to each of us, “Hey, don’t you know; haven’t you figured it out that God is never inadequate, insufficient, or lacking in anything! And guess what? He is able to create endless alternatives or options and we don’t have to understand it all or figure everything out to find all the strength and support we will ever need in Him!” May you know God’s presence, strength and power that goes beyond your limitations today and everyday.

Scripture for the week of June 21, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods, in whose hand are the depths of the earth, the peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it, and His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Psalm 95:3-6 (NASB)

Have you ever had your breath taken away in the beauty of an ocean sunset, stood in awe of snow capped mountains or captivated by the delicate display of wild flowers in a meadow? Elohim, the Creator God, the most masterful of all artists, reveals Himself to us in the minuscule and extravagant details of His creation. God displays His majesty in the loftiness of mountains high and ocean depths. He calls us to fear and wonder at His sovereignty in the power of storms and miraculous expressions of mercy in our lives. He draws us near to His heart in the loveliness of butterfly wings, the fragrance of a rose and the wonder at the birth of a baby. Then, wonder of all wonders we are invited to call Him Father because He loves us! Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Amen!

Scripture for the week of June 14, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)

Have you ever been blindfolded and not able to see where you are going; or found yourself without a light trying to find something in the dark? It is challenging to acknowledge that the things we see are only temporary when it is our tendency to trust in what we see as absolute reality and truth. In this scripture we are exhorted to focus all our hope on eternity in God’s presence that we cannot currently see. Many would say that they can not believe in a God they can’t see, yet they do not hesitate to travel in airplanes that fly upon winds that eyes cannot see and turn on the power switches in their homes everyday using electricity that they do not see either. God reveals Himself in multitudes of ways that thrill us each and every day; twinkling stars, morning sunrise, ocean sunsets, blooming flowers, a beloved’s kiss, and a baby’s smile to name a few. The dream of “happily ever after” is in each of our hearts because “He has placed eternity in our hearts” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Yes, Lord, we believe!

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. —the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts. Jeremiah 31:17,18b (NKJV)

Have you ever gazed upon the innumerable stars in the night sky in awe of the power and majesty of God? It is very easy to then feel so insignificant and to doubt that God would really care about us and our circumstances. Mighty God (El-Gibbor) in this verse means Warrior, a Champion and Hero. The God who made all of creation, Warrior Lord of all the Angel armies of Heaven, is also our Champion and Hero! Are you battle weary from circumstances beyond your control; or blind sighted by attacks you least expected? No matter what you are facing, be encouraged and trust that the great and powerful arm of Mighty God, your Champion and Hero, is outstretched to you and nothing is too hard for Him! There is nothing too hard for our God to protect and provide, to lead and guide us in all our circumstances. Yes, Amen!

Scripture of the week of May 31, 2026
By JoBeth Kested

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; Psalm 23:1-3a KJV

Have you ever longed for peace or comfort and rest for your soul? Our souls consist of our mind, will and emotions where we feel the afflictions of doubt, fear, sorrows and confusion that rob us of peace and paralyze our ability to hope. We are likened to helpless fearful sheep in these scriptures; and oh, what a comfort to be reminded that the Lord is our Good Shepherd caring for all our needs, lacking in nothing! We may not be quite as excited to realize that He will sometimes make us to lie down, even in green pastures, when most of us don’t like the idea of anyone making us do anything! Yet, we would all gladly welcome the quiet comfort and peace with renewing hope beside still waters if we could find it. Dear Lord, direct our steps to a still quiet place in Your presence; free from pressures, anxiety and disappointments to find the restoring rest for our souls that You have lovingly provided for us. Yes, Amen.

By JoBeth Kested

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20 (NKJV)

Do you have difficulty believing that God really cares about any of the pressing needs you are currently facing? First of all, this verse profoundly declares that our God supplies ALL our need! But, if we are to understand that the doorway of His provision is in the glory of Jesus we may need to ask what is the glory? Biblically this often refers to the manifestation or the reality of God’s presence with us. Remember, one of the names of Jesus is Emanuel which means God with us. Therefore, there is a wealth of God’s provision for us as we grasp that Jesus is with us; our Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Friend of Sinners and our Savior. He is real, present and available to us in every circumstance today and everyday to meet ALL our needs. With renewed faith in His love for us, let us give worship, praise and glory to our Father God forever and ever. Yes, Amen!

Mother’s Day Blessings To You Today

May10

Mother’s Day Blessings to all the women who have stepped into the sacred role of motherhood—whether natural or spiritual—understanding that becoming a Proverbs 31 woman is a beautiful and lifelong pursuit before Adonai.

Motherhood is a God-given blessing. The fruit of the womb is His reward, and children are a precious gift that should always be regarded as such.

Enjoy this day that has been set aside to honor you, and remember that motherhood never truly ends. We raise our children, nurture them, give them room to grow, love them deeply, and then have the joy of walking beside them as they learn to mother and nurture others themselves. What a beautiful blessing Abba has entrusted to us.

So hold on—but not too tightly. Be present. Be loving. Be available with wisdom, encouragement, and grace. And above all, give thanks as you watch the beautiful fruit of your life continue to ripen, reproduce, and carry forth His goodness from generation to generation to generation.

May we all strive to be the Proverbs 31 woman that YHVH Himself formed and fashioned us to be, through Yeshua the Messiah.

Amen.

Proverbs 31:10-31

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.”

— Proverbs 31:10 (KJV)

Proverbs 31:10-31
King James Version
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper In Jesus Name

May7

We do not bow to fear.
We stand firm.
We watch and stand before YHWH in the Courts of Heaven, clothed in faith, truth, and the authority of His Word.

No virus, no plague, no scheme of darkness shall by any means harm us.
No lying spirit, no deception, no false narrative shall shake our Genesis faith in the Living God and His Written Word.

YHWH alone created the heavens and the earth—the sun, moon, stars, waters, vegetation, creatures, and mankind by His mighty hand.
We will not be moved.
We will not be deceived.
The devil is a liar and the father of lies.

Therefore we decree:
Devil, cease and desist in the Name above every name—Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach.
We discern your devices and expose your works of fear, confusion, and intimidation.
We enter the Courts of Heaven under the authority of the Blood of Jesus and declare:
“No weapon formed against us shall prosper.”
No virus.
No terror.
No assignment of darkness will prevail against the people of God.

Abba Father, You see every scheme of the enemy against Your people.
Arise in Your glory and let Your light shine through us like the brightness of the noonday sun.
Lord Jesus, lead us, guide us, guard us, protect us, and provide for us according to Your mercy and power.

We declare the Blood of Jesus over every believer, every home, every gate, every door, every waterway, and every territory You have entrusted to us.
We will not bow.
We will not bend.
We belong to the Most High God.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we refuse to be vessels of fear, gossip, panic, or unbelief.
We will guard our mouths and align our words with Heaven.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, therefore we choose life.
We will not fall to the whisper of the serpent saying, “Has God truly said?”
We know His Word.
We believe His Word.
We declare His Word in faith and authority.

We are watchmen upon the walls.
We are warriors at the gates.
And with one voice we declare:
“Not today, devil.”

We will stand united.
We will stand watchful.
We will stand unwavering in faith.

Jesus is LORD.
Amen.
