Greetings sister soldier saints!
How are you enduring today?
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews 6:15
And we too patiently endure and our promise is to come!
I read this this morning and wondering at our great God we serve...
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:22-23
That's a bit like us sisters, being lights in a dark world. Because it is a work of God in us that we have light!
And wherever we go we see God's light is mostly hated...
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:19-21
And it's not our light is it sisters because we have none on our own but from the Lord. He is light! And we know people really don't hate us but the God we serve and obey.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Luke 11:34-36
I like that...the bright shining of a candle. 🕯️I know a few of you dear sisters who love the light! You are shining brightly in a dark wicked world! God is glorified when we do that!
And we know this one too sisters...
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Ephesians 5:11
And the unfuitful works of darkness are indeed very many aren't they. One that comes to mind would be not loving the brethren in the faith. That is a work fo darkness. There would be a huge list of those works of darkness and the Word tells us what they are if we look.
And light and darkness cannot be mixed...
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
I thought of this verse...about sin finding us out.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Numbers 32:23
We can't hide from the holy, holy, holy God who sees and knows the depths of man's heart. He sees into the darkness.
But let us sisters shine as bright lights...as those around us love darkness.
And one day this will be! Rejoice sisters!
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:43
We will get to shine forth in the Father's kingdom...how encouraging. He is good to us. Let us live to please Him. He is worthy!
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 4:13-14
Amen we know God looks after His servants and those who trust Him. He is preparing a place for us!
I love seeing this old bark peeling off and the fresh new bark inside....
Amazing creation of God.
Sunny warm day today good for drying...
Calves slowly growing bigger on all the milk...
You just all keep doing your works the Lord has in your lives sisters. These are pleasing to our Father. He sees all things...what we do and what others do. Nothing is hidden. What a great comfort knowing we love and serve such a great and loving God!
That's what I have for today. Keep fighting the good fight of faith sister saints!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
