Greetings sisters!
How did you serve the Lord today? I'm sure you went about your business whether it be Titus 2 works or being a helper to a husband or ministry work for the Lord as we know it is pleasing to Him. We are to mind our own business and work with our hands in that which is good aren't we.
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1 Thessalonians 4:11
We have to always remember what is most important in life and why we are here. We are not our own are we sisters. But we want to be willing vessels, servants of the Lord doing our reasonable service unto Him redeeming the time.
Our life is all about God isn't it sisters. Let's think. He created this whole universe in the beginning. Before that He always existed. Then He made man and then woman. We know how it went that the woman was deceived and disobeyed God. And ever since then mankind has had a deceitful wicked heart that needs to be changed into a heart for God and His ways. And that can be by the new birth being born from above. Praise God sisters, that God sent His Son! It is all about Him who is God. We have the gospel! We can come to the Father through His Son! We have been bought with a great price! Yes this life is all about Him and He deserves all the praise and glory amen sisters.
So even if our days may seem quiet and uneventful or extra busy with little time to stop and think we all must remember the whole picture of things and it isn't to live for ourselves but for Him!!
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
I read you 1 Peter 4. May it bless you sisters!
I was thinking about this scripture today because my family was telling me about earthquakes that happened over here today. And they are not common over here. God shows His power in His creation in many ways but still people don't fear Him do they.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:7-8
We know the time is drawing near the end, and it kind of also makes me excited that Christ will be coming back. Well obviously we are getting closer every day. I know it will be a time of great tribulation and that we aren't to fear but we know it's coming (because the pretrib rapture is a lie). So that just got me thinking about that scripture. These earthquakes happened near a wicked city and where I spent much time last year looking after my little niece and nephew. Thankfully, despite the damage, no one died I think but still I hope people wake up and repent.
Find the bird...
Ok sisters that's my edification for us all today. It's all about Christ isn't it sisters...our life is meant to be. He is worthy!
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:11
Love in Christ,
