Greetings godly sisters!
How does this day find you in the faith? Hopefully you are pressing on and through all things that come whether it's in our physical life in our health or in our spiritual life of trials and what comes because of our faith. As we sisters often remind each other...our reward is in the next life! All we go through here is nothing compared to the glory to come with the Father!
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18
The world may be receiving their reward now in fulfilling all manner of pleasures and lusts...but we know it shall not be well with them unless they repent.
Here's some fruit blessings of peaches and apricots we got...
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:11
Which means I have some work to do...
Cooked some to freeze...
And the chicks too...
God is good to provide many different foods for mankind. We give Him the glory and thanks for them.
We can't talk about fruit without bringing up about the fruit we are to have as saints of God.
What does your tree look like, your life? Is it full of good fruit? I hope so because that shows our faith in Christ and our new life in the Spirit!
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:8-9
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Colossians 1:10-11
And we also know we women are to be adorning with good works rather than outward physical adornment in our dress etc too.
Here's a picture of fruit that I added some names of the fruits we are to be producing in our lives.
We know it is a work of the Spirit within us to produce these...as without Him we do not have the power to. Let's make sure we keep abiding in our Saviour and are branches bearing much fruit!
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.John 15:5
Well I hope you were edified sisters and you keep going about your lives producing good fruits so the Father is glorified!
Perhaps in the physical, some of you have some surplus blessings to work with storing them up and being good stewards of what you have. I'm sure all of us women have various kinds of work to do working with our hands and feeding others in our lives. What a good blessing we have to do so!
You have a joyous day sister saints and the Lord give you strength!
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
