Hello sisters!
God granted us another day to be in this world shining as lights in the darkness. It is very dark out there in the world...and even oftentimes in what calls itself the church or Christ's people. But we know Christ's true people who have His Spirit that teaches us the same truth are holy and are striving to be spotless and set apart for Him. We know there is no darkness in God!
I thought of this and how we see today many rejecting truth...religious people too...
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Acts 13:46-47
I'm so glad we have the hope today too! God made the way for us through Christ! How thankful we are.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:13-14
And of course we know that many Gentiles are rejecting truth and living in darkness. But we can be a light to them and everyone. Everyone needs truth as God is not willing that any should perish.
And I was thinking about something else...oftentimes people think of missionaries needing to go far away into dark distant places...and that is true but we know right where we are also and in our own lands there is great spiritual blindness and darkness.
And we women can be a witness right where we are and also if we have access to technology (if you're reading this you do) there can be many ways to be in reach of many people...even without leaving your home. We all have different lives and callings but also much the same in that we all are about pleasing God first. He is number one in our lives.
I was thinking about partiality too. We don't want to be partial to anyone...every soul is just as in need of the precious gospel truth, near or far. There's so many ways we can think about where we could find ourselves being partial or we can see it in the lives of others. God teaches us the truth about that all and we want to examine our lives and make sure we are not partial either...for God is not a respector of persons. And in the end we know He's going to judge everyone according to their works.
What a great God of redemption we have!
And I share some beautiful creations from my day...all that God made. Glory to Him!
(You can see the ants and bee on that big flower too.)
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3
Let us remember that sisters.
Thank you sister for all these scripture picture gifts.
What precious eternal words and truth of God. And I appreciate the love of a sister putting them together and sending them that's behind them too. We can all share and encourage one another in so many ways. It is all centered around the Lord and our love for Him and His Word and each other
Well that's it from me for today...some simple thoughts which I hope are encouraging and God's Word too. And some of His peaceful creations from my corner of the world too.
OK, keep fighting on sisters! Stand strong on the truth. Lord willing I shall be back here tomorrow.
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
