Greetings sisters!
Let us rejoice in this day the Lord has made! We have such a blessed life to live as daughters of the Most High God! Let us treasure this life we have been called too and be careful with it.
"Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;"
Hebrews 3:12-14
What a great Saviour we have indeed! What priceless treasure the gospel to eternal life is for us and it is available to all who will seek it with their whole heart and life. It has changed our lives and we serve a mighty risen Saviour!
Amen! And in Christ we sisters can be free from sin and false ways which brings the world and many claimed believers into bondage to sin.
(And some of these things we are set free from are things like Christmas, Easter, Mother's/Father's Day, Birthdays, "the Lord's Day", worldly and unbiblical weddings, funerals and much more.)
We have been set free from covetousness/idolatry in competitions and idle things, from music, from pride and vanity in our looks and how we dressed and adorned ourselves. Instead we clothe ourselves biblically.
There's so much more of course. And those in bondage don't see it because they are blinded but let us shine our light and point others to the truth by our obedient life and in our standing on the Lord's truth and holy ways.
And not to mention the freedom from the other sins that the scriptures speak of...
"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Galatians 5:19-21
We sisters have been freed from our past lives and made new by the Spirit!
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Matthew 6:24
And we want to serve such a great God! He sent His Son to make a way for us to be delivered from death and hell!
"We love him, because he first loved us."
1 John 4:19
And we love to study His Word to see what He wants of us. We know that loving God is obeying Him.
So many look at us and think we sisters are in bondage. They see how we are to be quiet, keepers at home or helpers and submissive to husbands and the authority of man, or how we dress biblically to cover our bodies and heads.
"Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
Matthew 4:10
Amen let us serve this great God only who has sent His Son to die to set us free!!!
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
John 8:36
We are not in bondage to our own ways and we fight against our flesh. We can overcome in Him!
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Let us trust in the Lord in this life sisters. May we look to Him for strength and wisdom. As we battle against the flesh and trials and tribulations we face, may we seek the Lord and His power in it all. As a sister shared today...
And instead of seeking after all the world's empty and foolish entertainment which we have been freed from, we see the beauty of God's creation and give Him all the glory for it.
I like seeing the little tiny creations too!
"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them."
Psalm 103:8-18
And a sunset from the end of my day...
OK sisters! I shall leave it there. We are all one day closer to eternity!
Let us hold fast sister soldiers!
" Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:"
Hebrews 10:23-24
Love in Christ,
...from one of God's daughters
