Greetings in Christ sisters!
I had a super busy day running errands and shopping today. How was your day?
It's good to just stop and be quiet and think on God after such busy times.
So my post will be relatively quick and simple but not lacking in any love to my beloved sisters.
While I was waiting for something, I got to stop off at a nearby piece of peaceful creation. I've shared some from there before but it's refreshing.
It reminds me again of the living water of Christ.
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 4:10
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.Colossians 3:1-2
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.Colossians 2:6-7
Then Job answered the Lord, and said,I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.Job 42:1-6
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Psalm 40:5
This verse is so profound and meaningful...
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark 8:36
Absolutely nothing in this world is worth risking our souls on. There's so much though to distract us and tempt us away but let us press on in the great hope we have to come.
I have to go now but Lord willing I will be back tomorrow with more edification and encouragement for you sisters.
Strive on...in the narrow way.
Love, peace, and joy,
...from one of God's servants
