Staying on the Ancient Path- adding Knowledge

Staying on the Ancient Path Devotional Art Journal - Using Jeremiah 18:15:

“Because My people have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols. And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient paths, 

To walk in pathways and not on a highway,"

and for this installment, adding knowledge to our faith. 2 Peter 1:5-8

 ^"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control ^[a]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither ^[b]barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

We continue on the journey, discussing how we can get knowledge and the story in Nehemiah 8:1-18, how the people were listening to God’s Word and understanding it.   Using some of my botanical gel prints to make the journal page.
