Hello sister saints!
Hope this post finds you all well and strong in the Lord and His holy ways.
Today I wanted to share some verses on precious things. I may have in the past but it's one to ponder how very valuable treasures we have in God and His Son. It's encouraging!
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Psalm 139:17-18
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Psalm 116:15
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Proverbs 3:13-15
And we saints know the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That last verse also reminds me of the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman who's price is far above rubies. Those bought with a price, the holy women of God who follow His ways, are indeed very precious! I am blessed to know just a few!
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter 1:7-8
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:18-19
Indeed so many precious things we have in the Lord!
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Revelation 21:10-11
I love that...the light being like a precious stone.
Well sisters let us remember what precious things we have in Christ. We don't want to take it forgranted or trample what truth and light we have been given.
I'm thankful for Christ our high priest...
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 2:17-18

Here's some cute little chicks that hatched...
Amazing creations doing what they were created to do.
What a great Redeemer we have in Christ! Let us follow and obey Him unto eternal life! (Thank you sister for the picture!)
Well sister saints I think that's it for today. Indeed we have great riches in the Lord. We want to be faithful in what we have been given. You keep fighting the good fight sisters. Until next time, tomorrow Lord willing...
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
