Hello godly sisters!
Here's a new day the Lord gave us all. His mercies are new and His faithfulness is very great!
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
He is such a God of hope and we can keep pressing on as it is not hopeless with Him!
I had a really busy day out being a helper.
Pretty morning it was.
Next scripture reading to edify my sisters...
I love that Paul goes through in detail to mention faithful saints and he shows there were many labouring faithfully in the Lord and in the gospel and caring for one another. Many sisters are also mentioned and we know they were good helpers among the believers and in the gospel.
We sure can feel like stangers in this world. We remember that faith and the gospel is foolishness to the world. And man's wisdom is foolishness to God. And so much that man does is so empty and useless. We know to fear God is true wisdom. But we keep pressing on even if the world thinks we're foolish.
We know this is a battle of two sides...good versus evil, light vs darkness, God vs satan, flesh vs spirit. And while it may seem that evil and darkness is prevailing for a time...it is short and our great Saviour will come in power and great glory! He will gather His own and lest they repent all who do not know God and obey the gospel will be punished in everlasting destruction. We know how this world is going to end. We don't have to live in fear of the unknown. Let's just trust in Him and fear Him making sure to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Thank you sisters for sharing these...
