Hope this finds my holy obedient sisters standing strong in the Lord, holding fast and prospering in Him! And I know you would be going about your own business and working hard in many different good works the Lord would have you do. God's daughters are not lazy and idle...well they shouldn't be...so it's a blessing to have a great variety of good things to do. We might have houses to keep, clean and organize, food to cook to feed others and ourselves, gardens to look after, husbands to help in many different ways, children to raise in the Lord, sisters in the faith to encourage, the gospel to be prepared with to the lost, our own faith to be strengthened in in the Word and grow in knowledge and ready to give an answer, there might be elderly to look after, animals to care for, a job to be able to support yourself, and many other things and in all that we know we must keep our focus right and that is having the Lord as our first love.
And out of that comes the way we behave and obviously we want that to be what is fitting to the gospel of Christ. We have read the scriptures enough to know what all those things are. But we do well with reminders and times to ponder more deeply in each specific quality we are to have to make sure we haven't fallen back in any of them.
This is just one...
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luke 6:32-33
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:24
Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.1 Corinthians 9:10
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mark 4:28
Seems to work some.
These are great creatures to have in the soil aren't they.
(thank you sister for adding this scripture)
Yes He is everything to us and He made us and He sent His Son to make a way for us and has done all things well!
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Galatians 6:14
Amen sisters!
Alright I must go. May your day be blessed in the Lord and I hope you endure through this one strong in the Lord...and remembering His mercies being new every day! Great is His faithfulness!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
