Hello sisters!
How are you? I'm back again with some simple encouragement for our daily life in Christ. Our whole life consists of days all added up doesn't it so let us use each day for God's glory, striving on and growing in His knowledge and ways. Speaking of growing, I'll share a few verses with the word that shows us that.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:15
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
2 Thessalonians 1:3
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:21-22
I love that...a habitation of God! Well I love all those verses!
Praise the Creator for all the beautiful flowers!
There's a great deal of growing going on in the season of spring here. And other places are preparing for the slower time of winter. But even in our own lives sisters sometimes we may think we aren't growing. But if we are holding fast not going back or looking back or growing weary we really are just growing stronger standing against many things. But we certainly want to be growing and we know the Lord will guide us as we seek Him. Of course we can't grow if we don't do anything or put in any effort to grow in the Lord. But we sisters love the Lord and we have His Word to grow by. What a blessing we have! May we all strive on!
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy 6:5
There was a mother bird feeding a baby bird outside my window so I took a video.
And it got me thinking about some scriptures...
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:2-3
It's not exactly the same but it reminded me of how we don't want to remain babes in Christ but grow up and on to the meat of the Word.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13-14
So let us keep striving and growing sisters! What a great blessing we have to do so! And to be able to grow in the Lord together for those of us in close daily fellowship. It's a joy. He is worthy and we love Him!
And share a meal sisters!
The Lord provided daily bread another day!
And thank you sister for the picture...
Bless His Holy Name!
OK sisters another day gone for me and so I will leave you here for now. Let's see if we get a tomorrow but live this moment for the Lord redeeming the time as best we can! I leave with a scripture a sister shared today...
Amen sisters! Let's strive on in righteousness and truth, God's holy ways!
Love to you in the Lord,
Sister Michaela
