Greetings sisters!
How are you today? I hope you're strong in the Lord and striving to lead a blameless life for our worthy Saviour! We all have many things in this life to deal with sometimes that we would rather not need to but through it all we need to remember we are to be seeking first God's kingdom and righteousness! And doing everything as unto Him and because of Him and for Him as all we have is His and He made us and gave us all we have.
Such pretty days here as the season turns into autumn...
1 John 2 for my sisters...
God's Word is good and we're so blessed to have it. Let us not take that lightly.
When we see the masses rejecting the truth of the gospel and the call to repentance especially after having it preached to them (like in street preaching etc) we see how hardened people are.
I thought of these scriptures to do with that...
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
Jeremiah 8:6
And they don't respond in repentance as we see in these two examples...
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Jonah 3:8-10
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:37-38
Such a dark time we live in with a lack of the fear of God and we know they have forgotten about His severity and coming judgements lest they repent. But all His saints are doing what they can to warn them about this.
(Thank you sister for adding that awesome scripture to my picture of His peaceful creations.) Pure in heart...that is a precious thing in this wicked impure world.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:3
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:22
Let's continue keeping our hearts pure for Him. He is worthy!
Hold fast sisters and Lord willing I will be back sharing some edifying for you all tomorrow.
Love to you all,
Sister Chayil
