Hope your day is going along well and you're fighting the good fight of faith! And I hope we're all rejoicing to suffer shame of any kind for His name!
Here's the next scripture reading to edify...
Hope these readings can bless you with good edifying content of His eternal Word! We sisters have thrown away all the not good content and things we used to spend our time on. Now we can labour for that which really lasts and is good and true and obedient for us as women!
Titus 2 glimpse...
It's a special time when you focus on remembering Christ's death for us, even if you do it alone.
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Let us keep examining ourselves and abiding in Him! I love being humble and knowing we need Him so much. And I know my sisters do too as we sure don't deserve all He has done and given us. But we don't say He did all of our work for us but we strive to walk worthy of Him even if we feel so unworthy compared to Him. We don't give up!
And I love that we can be the ones not living 'our best life now' but have the hope of the best in eternity to come! Sad but true that everyone not in Christ are having their best life now even if it is full of hardship as we know eternal destruction is far worse.
I was thinking of this...
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luke 16:25-26
We can be thankful if we are cast out or any kind of persecution for His name sake as that means we have a better life to come!
And like this too...
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Hebrews 11:24-25
Yeah and even though our flesh may not like it at times we know it's true and are happy to rather suffer affliction with the people of God than partake of any sin and it's pleasures. And we know Christ suffered much for us and we just follow in His footsteps denying ourselves and picking up His stake. It will be worth it all!
And just yesterday I didn't attend another family wedding. We sisters have to stand as salt and light against the sin around us...we can't just go along can we! We don't want to. I'm so thankful to know the truth and be set free from worldly ways...but there's still earthly ramifications to deal with from such things. And while we know so few will count the cost and follow Him we keep being faithful no matter what as our faithfulness is unto God first!
Thank you for sharing this sister...
Glad to know His light in such a dark deceived wicked world.
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:14-16
That's what I have to share today sisters! Some days I have more and some less but I do my best to share here. Hope you're all striving on and dealing with whatever particular things you need to in your lives. We all have much to work through and sort out like our thoughts, feelings, and actions etc and bring them into line to where they ought to be under Christ. Hold fast sisters!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
