Greetings sisters!
I get to drop in again here after another busy day. I hope you're all keeping occupied in good things in the different lives you have! The Lord has called us where we are, and it's good to look around and see what we should be doing to best redeem the time.
It's just good to ponder on the character of our Lord when He walked the earth and faced mankind.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.Isaiah 53:7
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:1 Peter 2:21-23
That seems like such a freeing thing - committing ourselves to Him that judges righteously! Let us do that, sisters.
These are what our Lord taught us as well!
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:3-12
God's ways are precious and beautiful! May we seek to live them out in practice for we are doers of the Word and not hearers only.
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Isaiah 29:13
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.1 John 3:18-19
Press on in the faith, sisters, and do not grow weary in any good thing even if it is washing dishes and clothes and keeping the house and such daily necessities! Through it all, may we seek first His kingdom and righteousness!
Love, mercy, and peace in Jesus our Lord.
