Hope you're well today and striving on in the faith! I am here and having busy days of Titus 2 etc! But I appreciate coming back here and focusing on the things of the Lord and edifying my sisters.
I was thinking how great a God we have and how such a high calling we have to be His daughters. I don't want to take this lightly like sadly most who call themselves by His name and yet disobey Him do. He is worthy of so much more and it's not for our glory to strive hard to obey Him but for His and we know we are not our own!
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:20
I was also thinking about the fact of us being His witnesses. That's a pretty big responsibility and are we taking it as seriously as we should? Just good to remind ourselves of such things and have a soberness about this fact.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8
We have not seen our Saviour in the flesh but by faith we can be His witnesses in 'the uttermost part of the earth' can't we. Our whole life is governed by His commands and we love to obey them all even if some are harder in the flesh. In fact, I know God's ways are perfect and so much higher than man's but many are so contrary to what our flesh wants. But praise God we crucify our flesh don't we and over time we no longer want what we once did! We abhor all evil and flee all appearance of it and cleave to that which is good!
(Thank you sisters for that scripture picture:-)
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 4:11
Here's the next chapter reading to edify you...
I'm thankful for our good Shepherd. We don't deserve such a caring merciful one but we're thankful.

OK well time for me to go but I hope your day goes well in the Lord and hold fast knowing one day we shall be set free from all these various trials we have to endure here...if we overcome! Christ is so worthy!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
