Greetings on this day sisters!
I hope you all and each of you are doing well in the Lord and pressing forward seeking things above.
"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."
1 Peter 2:11-12
I was taking a walk and saw some thorn bushes...
And I was also reminded of and we know our precious Lord and Savour was tortured with thorns before He died for us.
Reminds us all that sin is so terrible that God had to send His own Son to die for us so we could go free.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
One day it will all be put right....
"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."
Revelation 22:1-5
"He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
John 1:11-13
Praise God any one who wants to and is willing to lose their own life can come to Him!
"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
John 6:37
My day was again filled with housework and some sewing related things. I also have more duties looking after the animals around the property too...so I am keeping busy.
Hungry chickens...
And an awesome moon rise I saw tonight while I was doing my farm duties....
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"
Psalm 8:3-9
Amen!
I made some lentil pumpkin soup tonight...
We have some of our pumpkins in for the year. They are such a blessing to have stored up. But they can be a challenge to cut up though with their thick skins.
"Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."
Proverbs 30:7-9
Praise the Lord for providing good food, but above all for His Word by which we are to live!
"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Matthew 4:4
Lord willing I shall be back here tomorrow with something to share with you sisters to edify and encourage. Let us love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength!
"For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God."
John 16:27
Love and blessings to you,
...from a daughter of God
