Salutations to my sisters!
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
Psalm 143:8-11
I really love all of that! I'm sure you do too.
Love seeing the buttonholes take shape automatically...
Praise God for giving us all we have to do what we do! We have many extra blessings above food and raiment don't we sisters! And they often help us to better redeem the time for the Lord don't they. But we know not to let ourselves get entangled with things down here and be willing to do without.
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:11-13
Good example that is!
And I share this scripture too...
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Isaiah 51:6-8
We definitely want to be living for that which is eternal...not that which is so short lived, fading away down here. And we don't want to fear man either...the Lord will judge those who speak or do wickedly against His people.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:19-21
We love His Word and His ways don't we sisters! Let's keep walking in them!
May your day be a fruitful and joyous one today!
Love in the Lord,
Sister Michaela
