Greetings sisters!
How are you all?
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
1 Thessalonians 3:8-9
I love that and it's so true we truly care about one another in the Lord's body and hope and pray we're all standing fast and strong in the Lord each day. We know of the dangers of looking back, the deceitfulness of sin, the enemy as a roaring lion or angel of light, and the lusts of the flesh we all need to overcome daily and be aware of.
Here's a few awesome scriptures on the comfort of God...
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
Mark 10:49
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Luke 8:48
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:7
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
What a great and merciful loving God we serve! Let us be diligent to be found of Him in peace without spot and blameless (2 Peter 3:14)!
I've had a busy day again and traveling back home. The river water looked pretty this evening...
Praise God for giving us life one more day!
Lord willing I will be back here tomorrow! Hold fast right where you are sister soldiers! Endure hardness!
Love in Christ,
Sister Michaela
