He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love... ~ Joy to the World, by Issac Watts . When I looked up the story behind this, I found out it wasn't actually meant to be a Christmas carol! Watts based it on Psalm 98 as a hymn of praise to our wonderful Saviour. In this season of joy, let us remember to praise the Lord for everything He has done for us 😄🙏✨ . "The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen... Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise." Psalms 98:2, 4 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopeb_lettering #watercolorlettering #watercolorart #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #christianartist #christianartist #instaart #christmascarols #christmasart #christmas2019 #joytotheworld #communityofchristiancreatives #bibleverses #caligraphy #lyricsart #handlettering #brushlettering #lettering #typography #watercolourlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/B54FC9AnDU1/?igshid=1ck0x795dekpd

Ah wow, it's been over a month since I posted here 😅 Missed my one year anniversary of Hope Blossoms Art and Thanksgiving... Life has been crazy but now I have time for art again, PTL 🌸 . So here's a very late Inktober that I finally was able to finish! It's from one of my favourite songs by Acapeldridge, a Christian a capella singer 🎶 With Christ, we can always have a song, even in the darkest times ❤️ . "And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD." Psalms 40:3 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopebinks #hopeb_lettering #watercolorlettering #watercolorart #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolour #godsnature #nature #christianartist #inkdrawing #inktober2019 #watercolourwash #christianartist #inks #instaart #floralart #mixedmedium #watercolourflorals #floralpainting #communityofchristiancreatives #inspiredbynature #bibleverses #caligraphy #lyricsart #inktober https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tvLMQnBd9/?igshid=fy7gada7astn

#Inktober Day 3 - Jellyfish are really cool creatures. They are made up of 90 to 98% of water (about the same as a watermelon ����), have no brain, blood, or respiratory system, and some jellyfish have eyes similar to humans. They are fascinating to watch as they swim around 💦 There's always a beautiful side to God's creation, be it creatures, plants, and even us! Ask God to open your eyes to see the beauty of His creation and enjoy the blessings of His goodness and love 😄❤️🌸 . "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." Ecclesiastes 3:11 . . . #hopeblossomsart #hopebflorals #hopebinks #watercolorart #watercolourart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolour #godsnature #nature #sealife #christianartist #inks #inkdrawing #inktober2019 #watercolourwash #instaart #jellyfish #jellyfishart #seaart #marineart #sealifewatercolours #inspiredbynature #watercolorsealife #communityofchristiancreatives https://www.instagram.com/p/B3a-iIlH3DF/?igshid=1wuuyi81ebujq

#Inktober19 Day 1 - When you look at a patch of wild plants, it can seem to be chaotic and a mess at first. But when you have a closer look, you see tiny clovers covering the dirt, mimosas peeking up with their fluffy flowers, tall grasses swaying in the breeze, daisies and other lovely flowers growing here and there. Then you can see the true beauty of it all. Sometimes it seems like our lives is a mess like a wild patch, with chaos and stress and things seeming to go wrong everywhere... But when we ask God to open our eyes and take a closer look, we see His wonderful blessings scattered like wildflowers in our lives. Trust in God and He will bring you through the thorns. And remember to look out for the wild flowers too! 😊🌼🌿🌾 . "But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." Psalms 73:28 . Yay!! The start of Inktober is here! ✒️ My Inktober '19 themes will be weekly, and based on what I usually post up here 😁 Week 1: Wildflowers Week 2: Animals Week 3: Scenery Week 4: Words Week 5: Free! For Week 5, I'm open for ideas/requests from my followers. Ideas or requests will need to be Christian and/or nature focused so comment below if you have any 😊 I'll let you guys know which ones I pick! . . #hopeblossomsart #hopebflorals #hopebinks #watercolorart #watercolourart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolour #godsnature #nature #floralart #christianartist #watercolourflorals #watercolourflowers #daisies #inkdrawing #inktober2019 #watercolourwash #instaart #wildflowers #wildflowerart #botanicalwatercolours #inspiredbynature #watercolorwildflowers #inktober #communityofchristiancreatives https://www.instagram.com/p/B3JPU9iHWBY/?igshid=18kn2axt44pkw

To me, the simplicity of the daisy makes it so beautiful 🌼 It's one of my favourite flowers and daisy chains are fun to make too! Even in the little simplest things we can find blessings from our Heavenly Father 😊❤️ . "The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee." Psalms 145:9-10 . P.S. Bringing out my inks in preparation for Inktober 😄 Thought I'd try combining it with my watercolours! My themes will be weekly and based on what I usually post up here. Not sure if I'll be able to complete all 31 days but we'll have fun anyway 😁 Week 1: Wildflowers Week 2: Animals Week 3: Scenery Week 4: Words Week 5: Free! 💭 For Week 5, I'm open for ideas/requests from my followers.

When we realize how sinful we are before God, it can cause us to feel unworthy and sinful... Gideon felt this way in the presence of the Lord, but God had mercy on him and covered him with His grace 💙 We should have peace and trust in God as our Heavenly Father who loves us so much that He sent His son Jesus to die for us that we may have salvation. He is for us and not against us! Trust in the Lord, claim His grace, and He will help you to overcome sin through His strength 😄 . "And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die." Judges 6:22-23 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopebbookmarks #watercolorart #watercolourart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolour #godsnature #nature #watercolourbookmarks #floralart #christianartist #watercolourflorals #watercolourflowers #communityofchristiancreatives #hopeb_lettering #watercolourlettering #watercolorlettering #handlettering #biblelettering #watercolourbookmarks #bibleverses #brushlettering #lettering #typography #caligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/B121Hm8ns2W/?igshid=xbqvb6iikmqd

A basket of bright colourful flowers to cheer up your day! How lovely is our Lord to bless us with so many different types of beautiful flowers. He made each one of them as a gift of Love to us. Have a blessed day! ❤️🌹🌷 . "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth... Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him."

I love to go outside and watch as the sun sets below the horizon. Every sunset is different from the previous one, new cloud formations, new colours, new feel... They are a beautiful gift God gives us every evening. We can try to paint it onto paper but the real sunsets are truly incredible. Indeed, our God is the best Artist out there! 🌆🖌️ . "That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else... Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it."

Duranta, also called Golden Dewdrop, is an ornamental bush native to the Caribbean and Americas. Dainty lavender-coloured flowers blossom from the tips of the plant, which butterflies and hummingbirds love to drink from. When the flowers fall off, a bright orange berry forms. Although the plant looks beautiful, it has a hidden side - the unripe berries are poisonous and the plant is covered in thorns! Like how you can tell the type of tree by its fruit, the Bible says that you can know a person by their fruits too. Let us bring forth the good fruits of the Holy Spirit that reflect our love for Jesus and for others! 😊🍇 . "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." Matthew 7:16-17 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopeb_watercolours #watercolorart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #natureartist #naturewatercolor #godsnature #nature #flametree #tropicalflowers #springcolours #watercolorflowers #purplewatercolours #naturalistart #botanyart #watercolourflorals #floralpainting #christianartist #floralwatercolors #communityofchristiancreatives https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzx6OGzHgVB/?igshid=iqx7witabwm7

The butterfly pea plant is a small creeping vine native to tropical Asia. It produces beautiful deep indigo coloured flowers that have many uses, such as a natural blue dye for food, a tea, and as a herbal remedy. As with many flowers, they are delicate and need to be dried in order to preserve them. The Bible often talks about how men are like flowers that bloom but fade quickly away, and that's so true. The Lord knows this and is so merciful to us and pities us like a father. Praise the Lord that His mercy endures forever ❤️ . "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth."

Every blossoming flower and towering tree, every dancing butterfly and singing bird, reminds us of our Heavenly Father's wonderful love for us ❤️ Let us remember to thank and praise Him for all the gifts and blessings He has given us. Have a lovely day! 😊🌺 . "Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion."

Faith is a beautiful thing. It's saying "I believe my God can do anything in His power, nothing is too difficult or impossible for Him. I just need to believe and have faith in my Creator." He made the stars, the earth, all of nature. He parted the Red Sea, calmed the tempest, rose from the dead! Nothing is ever impossible for our God. If it is in His Will to do it, He can 😀 🌿 .

Sand Cats are incredible little guys. They are the only cats to live in the extremes of true deserts and are widely found in the deserts of North Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia. They are nocturnal animals, coming out of their burrows only during the night to roam and hunt in the cool. Sand cats are also one of the smallest wild cats, weighing about 2.8 kg (6 lbs). Though they are small, they're fast runners, sprinting up to 40km (25mi) per hour in short bursts! Like the sand cats, we run a spiritual race, not for a temporary prize but to win the prize of everlasting life. By daily overcoming sin and temptation with God's help, we can be victorious Christians 🌿👑 . "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible." 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopeb_creatures #watercolorart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #watercolorcat #godscreation #sandcat #sanddunecat #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #naturepainting #wildlifepainting #creationart #communityofchristiancreatives #christianartist https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMjm1AHfo2/?igshid=1w9di0fissyuk

One thing I enjoy spotting on my nature walks is old tree stumps. I'm fascinated by how God's nature transforms it from a sad loss to something so full of life and beautiful 🌿 Just like the tree stump, the Lord can take our lives, which seem to be hopeless and dreary, and give us a new life full of joy and hope in the Lord! We only have to surrender our hearts and lives to Him and He will do the rest ❤️🌸 Will you let Him into your life today? . "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
