Hello sisters!
Hopefully all is well with you and you're pressing on in the faith!
This scripture stood out to me today...
She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.Mark 14:8
And it reminded me of this one...
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.Galatians 6:10
God knows what opportunities we have to do good. And He sees if we take them or not. Let's ponder our lives and make sure we are doing what we can. And that is in any kind of good work even if it may seem so simple and mundane. And yes we would want to try to make all people come unto the knowledge of the truth too, but reality is we can't, so let us keep doing what we can, the best we can in the circumstances and opportunities and roles we have as women.
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.Philippians 4:10
I was also thinking of Mary and how we don't know much about her, yet she found favour with God.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.Luke 1:28-30
I'm sure she did not know anything of what was going to happen to her, yet she was faithful and pleasing to God. We can see some of her heart in what she said though.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.Luke 1:38
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.Luke 1:46-50
May we sisters keep being faithful where we are. He sees and knows all things! He sees into quiet lives and we know that to have meek and quiet spirits are pleasing to Him. Contentment and thankfulness are also valued by Him. It's very good to just stop and spend some time pondering our lives sometimes and often!
Hold fast sisters and keep fighting the good fight of faith where you are!
Love to you with a sisterly hug. Be of good courage as He has overcome the world!
