Hello sisters in Christ!
Here I am back again! One more day to edify and encourage you with all good pure and true things.
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:10-11
What great things to strive for...approving things that are excellent, being sincere and without offense, being filled with the fruits of righteousness...unto God's glory and praise! Yes let us do that sisters!
I read this verse this morning after reading many previous verses of terrible things if they chose sin.
Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
Deuteronomy 28:47
And we sisters want to be serving Him joyfully and gladly!
And then I thought of a scripture a sister had added to my picture and how it describes the early saints and their 'gladness of heart' in their fellowship.
(Thank you sister for that gift:-)
I share some creation pictures of things I saw today. Glory to God for all the great variety in it all!
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.Isaiah 45:18
(I shared the recipe earlier here.) Thank the Lord for providing another day.
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Proverbs 14:26-27
I love that! Some of us sisters were talking about the fear of God today...how we want to have it. And how we frequently see many thousands killed in the OT by Him for their disobedience. He is worthy to be feared and praised and lived for with our whole life and being!
I must go now sisters but I hope your day is a good one in the Lord! Let us all be working on what this scripture says because of what Christ has offered and done for us...
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
