I'm popping back in briefly with some simple edification. Hope your day has been going well.
I love this scripture of a good example of some saints that brother Paul was commending...
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
2 Corinthians 9:1-2
And I love the bit about their zeal having provoked many! Yes we can all do that for each other too. And we know we are to provoke unto love and good works! How awesome!
So I got the 2nd skirt finished and I'm glad to be done!
Yes and we also can't then believe that we serve a powerful God but one who's too weak to teach people the truth so there's 35 or so thousand different denominations with all different truths. No. They are not of God because He is the truth. And His people love truth not lies.
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;2 Corinthians 10:4-5
But we can overcome because we have been given what we need. We just need to use it all.
Hold fast sister soldiers! Let's look to our Saviour who has overcome the world and He is the author and finisher of our faith! In Him we can have the victory!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
