Greetings sisters!
How are you in the Lord?
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;"
2 Corinthians 1:3
I share a simple post from my day.
It was a beautiful morning and everything was dripping with dew.
On this video, you can see a big kangaroo jump over the fence. Praise God His earth is filled with His wonderful works.
So that all are without excuse.
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."Romans 1:20-21
Let us be like the one leper out of the ten who returned to give thanks to Jesus for healing Him. We give God glory and praise for His works.
"And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."Luke 17:17-19
And I went shopping and helped look after the little ones.
I saw this, and I don't think it would be a very good economical choice of meat...
And a refreshing veggie selection...
And a shopping harvest...
I was just thinking that there are so many things that are outside of our control and yet we sometimes think we can control things. Well most things of course we can't. So we need to trust it all to the Lord. And we need to have a childlike faith. They are simple and trusting.
(Thank you sister for sharing the addition of that verse.)
And as women many have the responsibility of raising little ones. Sadly they are seen as a drain and a burden in our society but they are a precious blessings from the Father.
"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."
Mark 10:13-16
But back to what I was saying, yes there are things we are in control of too; our actions and behaviour etc. Yes we all have to overcome our fleshly nature when we are new creations in Christ but we are or should be in control of everything.
"He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."Proverbs 16:32
Of course we don't sit back and do nothing and expect to be granted eternal life.
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."James 2:26
And yes of course we shine our lights, share the gospel, defend truth in ways we can and be the meek and quiet women we ought to be and God will do what He desires. He is in control.
And we know we have been given much with free access to the Word of God and so much will be required of us. Let us sisters diligently seek Him.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."Hebrews 11:6
So that is a few thoughts and pics to edify and bless your day as you strive on as a godly woman.
And let us rejoice because our redemption draws nearer!
"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."Luke 21:28
Until next time, Lord willing.
Love and blessings in Christ,
