Greetings sisters!
How are you?
We sisters surely need great wisdom to navigate this life in Christ through a faithless world. It's not supposed to be an easy life at all is it. Sure it's one of the greatest joys and the hope to come is great but you sure have to obey God's commands over your own ways and flesh which is not always easy. But our Saviour is worthy! And we sisters love Him! He has done so much to set us free! We must do the hard things for Him! If we endure we shall be with Him for all eternity. Today sisters, let's strive on looking unto Jesus...and tomorrow, one day at a time. One day we shall be with Him and all His faithful saints!
Here's a psalm to encourage you.
But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:14-24
I love that! How rich with truth and encouragement.
I love seeing all the good produce the Lord provides mankind...
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.2 Peter 3:9
I greatly appreciate my godly sisters who love the Lord. There's many who say they love the Lord but they don't obey Him which then means they don't love Him because to love Him is to obey Him!
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:2-4
Isn't this creation scenery awesome...
Amen...and we know our reward is to come even though sinners may be getting theirs now. It won't be well with them in the end lest they repent. We once were sinners...but praise God now we are called to be saints!
OK sisters well that's what I have for today. I hope you were edified and I know for my sisters who love the Lord it's just encouraging knowing another saint is striving on one more day in the truth of God too. Hold fast to the truth of the faith once delivered!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
