Greetings in Christ's love!
Hope my sisters are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might! I'm here again sharing a few things for edification and encouragement.
I was reading this scripture and thinking about being 'accounted worthy'.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke 21:36
We know we ought to be ready and watching and holding fast faithfully at all times and until the end.
A few more scriptures on being counted worthy...
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2 Thessalonians 1:5
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2 Thessalonians 1:11
I share an assortment of garden pictures from my morning...
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;Psalm 104:14
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:Hebrews 6:7
Even saw a snake sunning itself...
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.John 3:14-21
And even picked some more pears off the pear tree! What a fruitful tree it is! Hope we're like that sisters...fruitful in good works!
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:10
There's that about being 'worthy' again too.
Well sisters...I must go. Keep holding fast to what you have...the solid truth of God from His Word.
And we can be...
Diligent
Thankful
Content
Faithful
Loving
Hard working
Good
Chaste
Soberminded
...holy women of God, His daughters, going about our works unto Him. And everything else of course too! I'm glad for reminders in all kinds of good things as we want to please our Lord. I hope all you have to do today goes well sisters. Keep looking to Christ and remembering our hope is to come!
Love in the Lord,
Sister Michaela
