Greetings godly sisters!
How are you all this day? I hope you are well and striving on in this faith life!
I was thinking about this scripture about how we are now ashamed of our past lives before we were following Christ in new life. It's definitely not something we are in any way pleased with.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:20-22
Praise God to be set free from serving sin! And now we have holy fruit!
And then I was thinking about how vain and empty and useless our lives used to be.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah 55:2
But praise God to be living for eternal things that never fade away!Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:8
If we loved the world and the things in it we couldn't love God too...even if we claimed we did.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:15-17
And I see the greater depths of how close I used to be to the world even though I didn't do all the so called extreme worldly things like TV or movies etc. But praise God for His Word and Spirit to guide us all back to the truth and we leave behind the ways of the world that lead to death.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22
Amen and we sure are the richest people in the world...we saints are! We have an inheritance with Christ and eternal treasures in the heavens!
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:7
It was such a beautiful spring-like day today! Awesome flowers and sunshine! Glory to God! His changing seasons are amazing!
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
Psalm 115:1
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.Psalm 29:2
All of God's creations doing what He created them to do!
Let us be doing likewise as godly holy women not in rebellion against Him!
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
Hold fast sister saints and keep walking in truth!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3 John 1:4
Love in Christ,
