Edifying and Sharing Around the Word

 


Hello again sister saints! 


How are you in the the Lord? I hope and pray you're going strong and well. 


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: 

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Hebrews 10:23-25


Let's be exhorting one another sisters...and provoking unto love and good works! 



As my post title says, this is about sharing God's Word and being edified by it as sisters. If our lives are focused on God and loving Him with all that we are so will also our edification be based around God and His Word and our lives as sisters in that. 


I have a scripture reading for you sisters here also. I hope it edifies and blesses you. 




As I was out in God's creation reading that scripture to you I was messaging with a sister on the other side of the world also. That's a blessing to have technology to use for such things while we can. I sent her some pictures of the clouds and what I could see and a little rainbow I saw. She returned them with these scriptures on (thank you sister:-). Let us all be edified by His Word and creation...to give Him glory. 













(Spot the tiny rainbow in that picture:-) 


And we also talked about the little trials we have to go through on this earth (like heat and cold and all those other things that we might find 'hard') as being absolutely nothing. 






We talked about brother Paul's sufferings and how much he suffered. That's encouraging to remember. He had to fight through it all though and endure till the end...just as we do. 


Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 

In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 

Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

2 Corinthians 11:23-28



And so we know the Lord will also give us what we need to get through if we truly are trusting Him and living holy obedient lives. Nothing can harm us really can it sisters! 




I saw this little sparrow taking a bath in the cold wind and rain and thought about how God cares for His creatures. 




And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Luke 12:22-24



And so He cares for us, sisters. We know troubled times are upon this world and we know from God's Word that it will be bad in the end times, so let us always learn to fear God instead of what is going on around us. We know we will be persecuted...but that's only potentially damage to our mortal bodies and not our souls. 








And I share more scripture pictures from the sister. 












And let us ponder them all. 


OK, so I hope the scriptures have been encouraging and getting to share them together as sisters who love the Lord. 


Until tomorrow Lord willing sisters! 



Love to you in Christ, 


...from one of God's servants
