God's Hourglass -
an artist book by Pam Finlay
August 2016
A week ago I was led to create a collage. This collage was assembled in a short time into a book
from words and pictures that seemed to illuminate from magazine pages that the
Holy Spirit led me to.
He gave me the words: joy, live, love, heaven, transform, reconnection and change, living jewels, new life, ask, the olive trees, home, reflection and creativity, treasures and gold, be creative and shine.
He gave me the words: joy, live, love, heaven, transform, reconnection and change, living jewels, new life, ask, the olive trees, home, reflection and creativity, treasures and gold, be creative and shine.
Along the way I discovered a picture of
a clock with the time being 11.55pm and I heard in my spirit “It’s close to
midnight”, a time of acceleration.
Everywhere I looked I saw hearts and cups. I could also see an hourglass appear in the collage in the shape of
2 hearts in the figure 8. The number 8 speaks
of new beginnings in scripture. God is
filling our hearts through the passage of time as we remain on the narrow
way. I could see the resemblance of the
hourglass to the birth canal, a narrow channel to press through to enter in to
become fully opened. God’s treasure is
flowing in our hearts. Our cup runneth
over. Overflowing in abundance is His
grace, the golden oil of the Holy Spirit provides all that we need to keep our
lamps burning. He is filling us with His
provisions and His blessings, we are sparkling like jewels. Abundance through Jesus the Good
Shepherd. God has given us new life
through Christ.
Psalm 23:
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my
cup overflows.
Zechariah 9:
16 And the Lord their God will save them on that day as
the flock of His people, for they shall be as the (precious) jewels of a crown,
lifted high over and shining glitteringly upon His land.
Zechariah 4:
11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on
the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?”
12 I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive
branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out
of themselves?”
Matthew 25: 1-13”The Parable of the Ten Virgins”
6 At midnight the cry range out: Here’s the bridegroom!
Come out to meet him!”
Matthew 7:
7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to you
Nehemiah 8:
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and
drink the sweet wine, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our LORD; neither be you sorry; for the joy of the LORD
is your strength.
Mark 12:
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Proverbs 14:
11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the
tent of the upright will flourish.
Proverbs 2:
4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for
hidden treasures;
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find
the knowledge of God
6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come
knowledge and understanding.
2 Corinthians 5:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation. The old has passed away;
behold, the new has come.
I’m desiring God’s truth above all else. The truth is His word. Miracles happen every day. Look to God and the door will be opened to
you.
Blessings and love,
Pam
