Good day sister saints!
Hope this finds you well and striving in the Lord, pressing on!
I read you Philippians 3...
I've had a busy and joyous day labouring in the gospel, communicating with sisters I know, and housework! What a blessing it all is!
One of the things I can do is to send out gospel emails to churches online. It's just one of those things I can do in the life I live right now.
And one thing I notice as I do this is that I see how much these places are like businesses. All I do is go looking for their email addresses but you always see things like google reviews, opening hours, a donate button, and the lies and things like 'everybody is welcome', 'come as you are' type statements which are wrong how they use them and what they mean.
So praise God for whatever work we have to do for Him and may we be living our daily lives as living sacrifices as that is pleasing to Him.
And think about this sisters...oftentimes we talk about good works and the importance they have in our Christian lives. But I also think of how our NOT doing things is also a great witness too and good works. Things like not watching TV, not listening to music, not doing Christmas and Easter, not going along with the fears of the world, not getting swept away in politics and freedoms, not entertaining ourselves, not going to church, not calling Sunday the Lord's day, and on and on. You get my point. May we let our light shine so the Lord is glorified in this life!
And of course all what we do is useless without being in Christ and having His perfect righteousness. Nothing we do without that will get us anywhere let alone to eternal life! But now we are in Christ we must have good works and fruit as we well know! And all the glory to God for showing us the way giving us of His Holy Spirit and telling us how to live. Let us boast in Christ never in anything we do because we are absolutely nothing without Christ!
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Galatians 6:14
Some garden pictures...
Praise God for growing such foods for us!
Saw a cute baby lizard...
And know what this picture made me think of?
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7
And here's a bowl of vegetable soup...
And 2 more awesome creation pictures from a saint...to which I added scriptures.
And I share this scripture picture from a sister (and the one at the top)...
Praise God for the sweet fellowship, unity, and love of the Lord among the brethren! Let us all strive on sisters! A great hope lies before us if we endure!
I shall leave it there dear sisters! May your day be fruitful and joyous in the Lord!
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Love to you in our Lord,
...from one of God's daughters
