Hello sisters!
Time for me to come back here and share some encouragement, and even if that's in the simple form of pictures from my day and some scriptures. Praise God we can be walking in the light and all we do...may it line up with what is pleasing to God.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter 2:24
We know Jesus came to set us free from our sins! Live unto righteousness...I love that and that's what we really want to be doing.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 2:29
I share some garden pictures from my morning. It was a very refreshing cool breezy morning which is a blessing after heat. I know you sisters like gardens and growing food. And it's not just that but what's behind it of a great Creator and being able to grow food from the ground to provide food for our households. God is good to provide for us.
I love to see all those plants growing and hopefully yielding much fruit! We know what ought to happen with a plant that doesn't bear fruit after it's time. Just as it is with those who are not fruitful in the Lord...
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 3:10
Let us beware and let that not be us sisters.
Today's work in the area of storing up produce...
And a huge moth that was in some clothes from the clothes line...
Even if we may be really busy sometimes, if we can we just have to allow ourselves to stop for awhile and refresh. Sometimes we can't always do that if we are looking after others such as young children but most of the time we probably can...even if it's just for several minutes or so
And we can also make sure we find time in our mind to think on the Lord because obviously with all the good works to do and focusing on them sometimes that takes up our mind but other times if we're just working quietly we can think about many good pure and true things. And our mind can go to the Lord and we know He is our life and strength and joy and salvation and so much more!
And I share some scriptures that were shared amongst sisters today. Praise God, and I'm thankful, there's always sister edification going on.
My day is over...
But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.Psalm 115:18
That's all...from me. Hope your day is going well sisters. Keep pressing on and remember our hope is to come!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
