My Sharing for Today

Hello sisters! 

I back here sharing some encouragement and edification (and I'm back home too). 

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 

Praise God for telling us how to relate to fellow believers and also others. It's interesting how there is a big distinction made between believers and unbelievers. Well I know there is a huge difference and destination too. In my past I had a wrong view of that as well as not understanding the seperation of the true believers from those of the world (and especially sinful claimed believers as commanded). In that I mean we can take a command for what we are to do in the body of Christ from the Word and apply it to others when we shouldn't...applying it to the wrong group. Or the unbelievers or false converts can grab a scripture too that doesn't apply to them in order to justify something they shouldn't. Perhaps one example being that God is love and ignore the facts of His coming wrath lest they repent. So we do see in scripture a clear distinction between the saints and the world and obviously we relate to the two groups quite differently. So the context is important isn't it sisters...who it's written too. We're blessed to have the written Word of God aren't we sisters. Let us keep being not only hearers of it but also doers! That means there will be action on our part. Because if we truly believe in God then we also believe what He says and commands too. 

Long story short, I had to make a trip yesterday to a house of family members (who can't live there because of the current restricted and unpredictable world situation). I didn't need to stay long so I'm back home now but I share some of God's creation from my day. 

Lots of crops on the drive which means the Lord provided a good harvest to provide food for man and animals... 

I saw this baby bird fallen out of the nest...so I put him back. He fell out again so maybe he's the weaker one and may not make it but he had to few more chances. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Matthew 10:29-31

God sees and knows about all of His animal creations...so let us sisters trust in Him because we are more valuable than sparrows and He cares for us! Just think of all the many many blessings we have daily! He has provided us with more than we need for sure! So let us be thankful sisters! Most of all He made a way for us back to the Father through His Son and gives us power to be His children! 




We see in the scriptures many examples and pictures from nature and particularly agriculture type things and spiritual lessons from them don't we. 

Here's an olive tree and I thought of Romans 11...

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

 

Romans 11:22-24

And we all think of this one I'm sure about Christ the vine and we are the branches and in Him we bear much fruit. 

And there's many more of course. 

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Matthew 25:31-34

That's quite a picture there...of a shepherd seperating his sheep from his goats (and remember the sheep were the ones that had done things to Him). 

Peaceful... 

Beautiful moon rising... 

Glory to God for His creation wherever it is found! It's all over isn't it! 

And thank you sister for sharing this and the scripture... 

Amen let us trust in the Lord to preserve us. We know nothing will happen to us that He doesn't allow. 

And we know who God approves of and blesses. 

You have a good and fruitful joyous day sisters! Keep holding fast and glorifying the Father by obeying Him! 

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13

Love in Christ, 

Sister Michaela
