Hello sisters!
Here I am back again and the Lord gave us this day! It's a day to serve Him, to hold fast, to endure in, and to overcome any trials and doubts and battles and cling to His Word and be strengthened in it. We keep on obeying our Lord and Saviour in all things no matter what it makes us in the eyes of those around us. We don't want to deny Him in any kind of way by doing something/compromising just to smooth over the 'sharp edges' of what He has called us to do.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:8-9
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mark 8:38
If we are His we stand for all He stands for don't we sisters. We don't want to be ashamed of His Words. Any of His words...including this and the implications of it...
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Luke 9:23-24
He is so worthy to lose our life for! We deny ourselves but not Him!
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
Crucified to the world. The world...we learn the greater depths of what that is and means don't we sisters the more we see God's holiness and the difference between God's kingdom and that of the enemy. All those empty and sinful things we once were involved in. Now we live unto God and for eternal treasures above!
More skirt sewing today...
That should make a lot of soup!
And some sister scripture verse sharing...
Great scriptures to think on. His Word is truth and light and what a blessing and joy it is to have it in this dark world with falsehoods all around. And an extra blessing too to send it back and forth amongst the brethren encouraging and edifying in many good things.
Hope your day is a fruitful joyous one sisters! Hold fast and keep enduring hardness like a good soldier of Jesus Christ's!
Love to you in Him,
Sister Michaela
