Greetings sisters who love the Lord!
How are you today? Pressing on through all things I hope!
I'm so grateful for Christ, the Lamb of God! He is our very life and the centre of the gospel amen sisters! Our daily life of good works as godly women come from our faith in Him and all He is and did for us!
He was not found worthy of death...yet they killed Him. It was for us sisters...for the forgiveness of our sins when we repent. Let us not trample His blood and death by living for ourselves.
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
Luke 23:14-15
Will we be found worthy of eternal life with Him sisters?
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Luke 20:34-36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke 21:36
Stand before the Son of Man! Oh sisters, we could never get there on our own! Let us be ready and watching, doing our Lord's will until then because of what Christ has done!
What about being worthy to be persecuted for Christ?
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Acts 5:41-42
It was a cause of rejoicing for the apostles to be counted worthy to suffer for this great Saviour!
What about us being rejected in our own families? What about being thought of as strange for our zeal for Him? For our different holy attire from the rest of the corrupt culture? Indeed we have been given much peace in our lives really. We know in some countries, professing faith in Christ means instant death by your own family (some types of Muslims). We see so many of the early Christians, apostles and disciples, died for Christ. So we have it good and easy in comparison really but we have to be ready to suffer the same things. I know some of you saints that would not compromise in the face of death for Christ. Those people are few because so many compromise on the little daily things Christ commands us to do. We have free access to God's Word, truth, and His commands so we will be responsible for what we did with that. Let us be faithful in all things sisters!
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Luke 12:47-48
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Acts 13:25
Sisters, this is all so precious. Let us take this seriously, the great gift we have been given in His Son and not go on living our own lives. If we do go on sinning wilfully we will be worthy to be severely punished...
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:29
But we want to be found worthy of everlasting life...and not death and hell fire. And it's nothing we have done to deserve it all is it, no. Let us treasure this gift of the Son of God and His blood to cleanse us from sin. Let us obey His every command for us today. He is God!
Are we counting everything else as worthless, in order to walk worthy of this worthy Saviour?
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Philippians 3:8
Our sufferings for Him today are not worthy to be compared to what is to come if we endure sisters! That's encouraging!
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18
Let us daily strive to walk in a manner worthy of Him, as His holy daughters. This would be being obedient to all those things specifically for godly women and everything else too!
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephesians 4:1
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;Colossians 1:10
So sisters, let us strive hard to be living in obedience to God's commands for us in His Word. Who are we to question His commands? No we have been bought with a price so let us live now for He who owns us!
Awesome moon God created!
Potatoes (which are in the orchard which survived the frost)...
And unique little flowers on the indoor plant...
Just a few pumpkins remain! What a blessing they have been! Praise God!
God provided another meal! And I share it the best I can with you sisters!
OK sisters, I shall go now! Lord willing I will be back tomorrow! Let us bring glory to our great God and strive to walk worthy of such a worthy holy Saviour!
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 5:9-10
Love in Christ,
