Today's Encouragement (30 May 2023)

Greetings sisters!

Coming back to share some edification with you today. Hope all is well with you. 

Nothing worth losing our soul over is there... 

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36

And we know we need to be very diligent with all our actions and we don't want to 'lack one thing' or be holding onto anything before God. We know our soul would be in danger if we were. And the Lord can help us see what we need to change. And sometimes I think how far the culture/world is from God in their wickedness and so we all will be drastically different and have so far to return when we repent...some more than others but we all still aim for God's high and holy ways and forsake all sin that we know of. 

Next scripture reading for you... 

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

Acts 21:14

Yeah that's what we should do isn't it especially in trying circumstances where we don't know what's going on...just submit to Him and put ourselves in His hands. 

We can think of Esther saying..."if I perish, I perish".

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Esther 4:16

Or what Job said..."let come on me what will" 

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. 

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? 

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 

Job 13:13-15

Or what our Saviour said... 

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

 Matthew 26:39

Or this too... 

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. 

Psalm 31:5

Yeah there's something freeing about doing all that...yet it may be the hardest thing to do still what His will may be for us. But we know there is great joy ahead...if we overcome and we plan to don't we sisters...to the very end! And that starts with being faithful in little every single day. We don't want to get near starting to compromise for anything do we. We must hold fast to the truth...and it remains the truth even if people think we need to be relavant to the culture and change the Word today. We must not and we have no authority to do so. 

In the Lord, all things work for good if we love Him. And we know this faith life is not one of ease. But He is so worthy and it will be so worth it all! Strive on sisters, no matter what! 

Pretty creations to look at... 

Always things to see all over as a witness to our Creator! 

I got more garden work done today and more sewing and housework. Glad to have the strength to do it all! I'm thankful. 

Thank you sister for sharing these... 

Yes let's wait on Him sisters! 

Yes let's be living faithfully, fearing God. 

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

1 Kings 8:61

I think that's all I have to share today sisters. Hope you have a good day of holding fast and not growing weary in well doing!

Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
