Daughters for His Glory

God's Forest Creation

Amen!

I was blessed to see some more of His Creation today.

But first...

In the morning, I took my little niece to see the cow up close. She was very intrigued that the cow ate grass that we fed it. It's a pleasure to see her learning about life.

The grass is greener...it might be here, but it isn't usually the case in our lives. I know we need to cultivate contentedness where God has us and do the best for Him wherever that is.

Then after the morning of baby care and cooking, and due to an errand we had to run, my sister and I ended up in another beautiful piece (peace:-) of God's Creation. May He be praised for His wonderful works. These are pictures (except if the videos work)...so add in lovely birdsong, fresh forest smells and then we saw a rippling creek amongst ferns.

And a final keeper at home one in Aldi.

Praise the Lord for richly providing for us!

No matter what you need to do in life, sisters may our hearts be trusting in God and longing for His truth and holy ways.

A thought came to me today that dispelled an incorrect one that had come to me. I was about to walk out the door and was wondering if some part of my clothing/headcovering was fixed right...but I quickly put that away and thought "if I'm wondering about something as small as that, I'm not fit for God's kingdom", and I moved on. The world puts so much emphasis on clothing that it is such a blessing to just dress biblical and move on. Yeah it's "not nice" how we godly women dress in their eyes but praise God for showing us how He wanted it done. We are to be content with food and clothing...it's pretty important and necessary. May we simply do what He has said and not fear what man thinks of it.

Love in Christ...

...and Lord willing I will be back to you tomorrow.

A Ten Minute Relax in Creation

Praise the Lord for truth and guiding us in the right path. Sad when people don't want to do it. May it not be so for us. And Jesus told us where we can find the truth.

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

(John 17:17)

After we went shopping for some baby items (mainly) in a huge and crowded shopping mall today...

...and us country folk couldn't find our car for awhile in the mass of cars:-)

...my sister and I went for a quick evening walk in another park near the river. It was such a lovely time of day with perfect weather.

Praise God for the peace and beauty in His Creation.

I share a few videos. I know they don't always work in Blogger...but perhaps they will one day or they might work for some (sorry if they don't).

Just some pretty flowers on the drive home.

And some general roadside scenery.

In the busyness of life, it's great to have a few minutes to refresh in the peaceful surroundings of nature. As keepers at home, sometimes we can be working so hard in the home that we rarely get time to take a break in God's Creation. But it is refreshing to do so and we thank God for whenever we can. In the meantime...

"But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing."

(2 Thessalonians 3:13)

I'm looking forward to my last full day tomorrow with the little ones before heading back home, Lord willing.

Yesterday, all 8 of us family went shopping at Costco (as we have membership and the others don't) and it was so sweet how my niece thought it was great that we were all there and she was acting as if she was just at home...and at times screeching/laughing loudly. She had one of her little soft toys along and was "hiding" it and loudly saying "um? um?"...as we were supposed to try to find it (I was carrying her and she had just shoved it down between us). She sometimes "hides" things in full view and wants us to look elsewhere for them...and points around the room suggesting places for us to look.

Praise the Father for the precious little ones:-)

Well I must leave it at that for now. Let us sisters be on guard at all times, in our daily lives and keep our minds on things above.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

(Mark 13:31-37)

Love to you sisters in the Lord.

Have a blessed day in Him striving on in the race before us.

God's Word and Floral Creations

Psalm 1

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

I share some lovely floral creation pictures I took when we were shopping in Costco today.

And some I took today from around the property here.

I thought these flowers were fascinating. They are so fluffy. Well all of them are beautiful amazing creations of the Father.

And finally dinner that my sister and I cooked. Just my keeper at home item to share with you for the day:-)

"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."

(Psalm 19:7-11)

Hope you all are doing well in the Lord and striving on faithful where you are.

May our great God be magnified.

Holding Fast and God's Creation

Sometimes days of life seem to be more productive and worthwhile while at other times things seem "stale" or not moving in any direction. In those times I just have to remind myself to hold fast and press on. Satan no doubt wants us to think that if we are not doing something "big" we are failures. God's commands is what we are to do and as women we know those are to be about the home and in keeping with our meek and quiet roles (and many other things of course). This is well pleasing to God. Yes we ought to be striving for perfection/maturity in Christ, but at times life just goes along slowly. God will bring things into our life that will grow us and if we truly obey Him they will come. It fits with us having to be trusting in God for what He does in people around us and not worrying about that ourselves. Yes sometimes it is puzzling why people do not want the truth...but I think God tells us the answer to that and it is the wickedness of man and that they love darkness rather than light.

We just have to be faithful and steadfast and pressing forward, holding fast, not looking back, and seeking to make the most of opportunities that come our way.

And people are always watching us saints and so through a consistent non compromising life we can shine the light of God's holy ways...so that He is glorified.

HOLD FAST, Sisters!

...on God's truth.

A few pictures from my day...

This flowering tree looked lovely with the evening sun shining through it.

Praise the Lord that we can know that in HIM is no darkness and all His ways are holy.

There's this big eucalyptus tree not far outside the house. It's shedding it's old bark to reveal a nice new one inside. It's amazing how it protects the insides of the tree and how God created water to go from the ground right up to the top of the tallest tree. Incredible! Wonderful are His works! Of course this tree shedding it's bark reminded me of shedding our old ways to new ways of Christ.

"That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."

(Ephesians 4:22-24)

This pretty moth was clinging to the kitchen window yesterday (and it was still there today).

And finally an old picture of a pretty bird I saw. It's not a good shot but I have seen the same birds flying around here every now and again. They are called Eastern Rosellas. They surely brighten the landscape. Praises to their Creator!

"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."

(Revelation 3:11-12)

Precious Lamb of God

You can't get much better than this from the precious Word of God.

Isaiah 53

"Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

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.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

(John 1:29)

Praise the Father for the Lamb slain...and for the good Shepherd.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

(John 10:27)

"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

(Hebrews 13:20-21)

Press on sisters...following the spotless Lamb of God slain for us.

Worthy is the Lamb!

Patience in the Home

Just a quick post for today...

Patience lesson for the day = trying to cook dinner in a hurry to a tight time schedule in a cramped tiny house with a toddler at foot pulling things out of the cupboards onto the floor making a challenging situation to work in. Yes I did feel a bit of irritation rising within me at the cramped cluttered workspace...but what's the need of that, silly.

---

Stop what you're doing for hugs when little niece asks for them = precious last few days with toddler:-)

This is just tonight's dinner I cooked from scratch. It's a honey garlic soy chicken stir fry with various veggies.

I was recently reading about the end times. They'll be much need for much patience in those times.

"In your patience possess ye your souls."

(Luke 21:19)

"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

(Revelation 14:12-13)

I read this today...

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."

(Daniel 12:2-3)

It's awesome that even so long ago we can learn these wonderful promises of the future. God is good!

See the biblical gospel to eternal life here.

The World Passing Away

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

(1 John 2:16-17)

This is an observation of the people around me and how they view life.

I see how excited they are and how full they are of living for this life. Indeed, I see them getting worked up and excited about sports, or music, or movies, or some deep fact of family history, or the latest politics, or the upcoming pagan holiday of "christmas". Those are just some of the things I see and observe in the people around me. There is much more further afield but nonetheless it is a rush after the things of this life.

It all is very sad really. It is all of the world and evil.

And with this current virus "issue", that's a threat to the people of the world's lives of pleasure and they are afraid!

"And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."

(Luke 8:14)

In the past, sadly I too was swept away in a few forms of music. It was so undiscerning of me. But now that I see the worldliness and fleshly ways of these things it makes me feel sad and sick to think that once I was OK with it. Praise the Lord though for leading me out of that and to the truth. He has forgiven. He can do that to anyone who repents. He leads people out of the "vomit"...yet sadly many go back. Let it not be so for the true saints. Press on...and be on guard.

"Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth."

(1 Timothy 5:5-6)

Sad yet that's why we all need a living powerful Saviour to make us alive and new creations in Him! So we are not walking around as the living dead.

For woman, it can also be the pride she has in her looks. This is all vanity and ought not to be found among the holy women of God. The world for a woman could also be many different things and how obsessed she is with her home and the physical aspects of it. She must be careful not to get caught up in all the fancy furnishings and decor of her home. She can also get swept away in the world of constantly looking for recipes or sewing tips. Of even in following the news. I feel how easy it would be to become "addicted" to these things so we must be strong to resist them and aware of the dangers. And fill our lives with other more useful things and not be idle and so more easily fall for the temptations.

The cure for believing women?...

Be born again by the Spirit and walk day by day in the Spirit and not the flesh.

This world and its flesh is all going to pass away.

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

(2 Peter 3:10-14)

Let us seek to strengthen and encourage one another in the faith, in this battle we are in.

"And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it."

(1 Corinthians 12:26)

One day it will be over, in a twinkling of an eye.

So,

think of God.

Think of eternity.

Sisterly Love for November 23

Loving greetings from a sister in Australia,

Praise God for quickening us...

"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:"

(Ephesians 2:6)

I hope and pray you are all doing well and standing strong in the Lord. Whether you are reading this now or in ten years time (if God gives us that) may the Lord be your focus and your joy and strength. I know it can be easy to lose some eternal focus when we are immersed in the little things and busyness of everyday life. But I hope this blog can help remind us all of things above and how we as women can keep pressing forward even while going about the womanly duties that we have.

We all have different lives to live and we don't know what the Lord will do in the future for each of us but those in Christ are one in unity and love.

"For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

(Colossians 2:1-3)

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:35)

I've heard of all kinds of damage done by claimed believers particularly women who gossip, speak evil of one another, and have envy and strife. It ought not to be so among God's true holy women. Yes that doesn't mean we are soft on sin, but we don't resort to fleshly actions of those things. Doesn't Proverbs say pride is the cause of contention? And that ought not to be named among us saints...but instead...

"She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."

(Proverbs 31:26)

We are even to bless those who curse us and love and do good to our enemies. How much more ought we to have love for the true sisters in Christ; those who are purchased with Christ's precious blood and who also love the Lord? Of course we love God first, but this side of heaven we may have each other and perhaps it helps reminds us of the future hope we have of all gathering to Christ.

We truly don't know what a day may bring. I posted the other day about the blessings of being able to work. Well I thought that that was ironic as I felt that way today after I tripped down the stairs and hurt my foot. When life is busy and there are needs and babies to help take care of and you can't really do much, it gives you a feeling of helplessness and even makes you feel lazy. But my family is good to me and tells me to rest...even though I'm like "I can keep going and do a bit". Hopefully, Lord willing, I can get back to serving soon...instead of being the one being served.

Anyway, have a blessed day all you sisters who may be reading this...or ever will.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."

(Psalm 100:4-5)

Love to the saints who are striving on in this evil generation.

Fighting Our Battles For the Lord

"Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you."

(2 Chronicles 20:17)

I was just reading in the Old Testament and came across that verse. It's amazing how God worked in many different ways back then. We know that oftentimes the Israelites did have to actually fight against the sinful nations around them. But I was thinking how that could work in our everyday lives as godly women.

We know well we are in a spiritual battle.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

(Ephesians 6:12)

But as we are faithful, I know that God sometimes delivers us from some trials before we have to go through them. But most of the time we have to actively fight through them.

We have to fight our flesh every day and strive to walk in the Spirit. And yes we should expect much opposition and persecution from those who do not love the Lord. But the Lord can deliver us and make a way for us to escape. All in His perfect will.

We know in all things we can have peace...because of Him.

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

(John 16:33)

No matter what the world or satan throws at us we know we can be more than overcomers through Christ.

"Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 8:33-39)

Yes even in this virus issue, which has impacted our every day lives, we don't fear. We know we have to get through this life, endure faithful to the end, to ever have the hope of eternal life.

What about the future? Yes there could be the darkest most terrible times the earth has ever faced just on the horizon, (well we know it will be before our Lord returns), but God can keep us through that too. IF we are truly His, then we need not fear anything else...because fear is not of God.

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

(Matthew 10:28)

Because we fear God, we will fight through whatever comes in our way of fully serving Him.

"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."

(1 Timothy 6:12)

I know that if you try to grow plants in a too sheltered environment away from wind and sunlight and then bring them out into the outdoors then they do not do well and are very weak. So with us, it is good to go through trials as it makes us grow stronger and helps us to mature in the Lord. No, in our flesh we would prefer not to be hurt, but in Christ He leads us through rough places. He remains with us and gives us strength if we trust Him.

And what are some of those battles that we women might have to face as we serve Him? We are not all the same and we each have our personal weaknesses and battles to face, yet still we all have much in common.

A few areas for us might be...

"un-uniting" from believers living in sin whether they be family or friends

patience and perseverance in finding biblical clothing, and overcoming any areas of pride and vanity that we might have in this area.

being willing to give up the "perfect life" we long for in our flesh

being rejected by those who once accepted us

being prepared for enemies that will come in our lives

overcoming physical infirmities and rejoicing in them

And of course there are many other trials that come and go and they will always be here as long as we strive to be obedient to our Lord. Yes there are things that will get easier over time but we will not be able to rest completely until we are free from these fleshly bodies.

I don't claim to know it all, as I haven't had as long a life on this earth as many have, but no doubt living as a believer in any situation will produce a battle against good and evil, the flesh and the spirit.

"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."

(Galatians 5:16-17)

But day by day we must press on...

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 3:14)

And one day our hope will become a reality and we shall be with our Lord and all His saints FOREVER!

In the end, yes it is more than worth it to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Christ. God will be glorified in our lives as we show His power to live a victorious life over sin.

Yes we may have moments of weakness. Yes I am fighting to overcome the fear of man myself. I am sure we all have those times which of course we would like not to have...so I am with you. I would prefer to keep to myself and not talk to anyone much. I am a quiet person and very bashful. Yes some of that can be a blessing as a meek and quiet woman but I cannot remain that way and bring glory to God, as His gospel and the power and hope we have in Him must be made known in ways that are appropriate for women. So I must fear God and not man or what they think of me. I am stepping out of my own comfort zone in this and I shall grow in the Lord as long as I do not give up. Yes I have a way to go, but I must obey God rather than man/myself.

I was just thinking about the scripture that says:

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord."

(Genesis 6:5-8)

And I thought wow, how merciful and wonderful is our God to give us a chance to live and repent. And what a marvellous thing it is that He sent His holy Son Jesus into the world as a sacrifice for sinners.

We are not worthy!

Praise Him forever!

Is anything too hard to fight for Him?

If only I would remember this in the heat of the battle and every second of every day.

I want to.

What about you?

The Blessings of Work

"She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness."

(Proverbs 31:27)

If God has blessed us women with physical strength and health enough to work hard, then that is indeed something to praise Him for. It's easy to imagine if something happened to us that stopped us from working and how we would want to be able to get back to it (though we know all things work together for good for us:-) Most of us reading this are well enough to work with our hands, and I don't want to take that blessing for granted. Yes when I'm worn out at the end of a day I long for rest, but I don't want to complain or forget that it is a great gift to be able to do so.

And this is true too...

"The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep."

(Ecclesiastes 5:12)

Yes it is a blessing to be able to rest after a long day. Refreshing!

Reminds me of the spiritual rest that only Christ gives us.

"For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;"

(Hebrews 3:14)

"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

(Hebrews 4:9-11)

A few pics of my cooking from tonight. (I'm not sure how or if recipes online are "copyright" or not, nor do I want to link other websites here but this was yummy for sure.) It's basically just pasta, chicken, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, cream, and lots of garlic.

It was just a simple day of work for me in jobs about the home where I am working at. It can be very satisfying to see a mess cleaned up and order restored in the house. And it's sweet to have hugs with a toddler that was clinging to my skirt:-) Precious little souls!

The world may say all kinds of things about a "keeper at home". But the women of God go quietly about their work knowing they shall be blessed by the Father for their obedience and faithfulness to Him. It is our duty to do so. We must do our work unto Him. It is something that I constantly have to examine my motives for all I do and why I do it.

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

(1 Corinthians 10:31)

Think of all the blessings in this life, sisters in Christ! First think that we don't deserve to even be alive after we sinned against God. But He is MERCIFUL and gracious giving us all a chance to repent and obey Him.

Thank God for His Son Jesus Christ!

"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."

(John 4:34-35)

The other aspect even for us women is to be labourers for Christ in the gospel. In the right place, we can share the good news of Christ with the lost. Our witness in a dark world as obedient to God's word as biblically dressed and submissive women will either convict or anger some...but we know that as Christ was hated in the world so should we expect to be. Rejoice in that!

Have a blessed day sisters!

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

(1 John 4:4)
