Today's Encouragement (12 August 2023)

 


Greetings sisters! 

How's your day in the Lord? My day was a busy one in Titus 2 works. And praise God for any fellowship we can have with sisters we know. We know how few there are who truly love God no matter what so it is a joy and refreshment when we do know a few. 

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

I love to think about my sisters who love the Lord. And be thankful to God for you. 


Sheep with their lambs... 


Quite a noise too with all the mothers and lambs calling for each other. It's funny to watch all the lambs playing together and running around exploring the world but then they lose their mothers and have to find each other again in the flock, hence the noise. But they do find each other so it's amazing God's creation in that aspect too and all the instincts He put in them and all His creatures. 


Next scripture reading to edify you... 


Lots of great truths for us in there. Praise God for being able to know His truth and good ways. I'm thankful to know what the works of the flesh are and the fruits of the Spirit. Although we are not under the law or saved by works we see and know that to walk after the flesh is death but to walk in the Spirit is life! 

Edifying...that's something we should all be involved in doing. 

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1 Corinthians 14:12


From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Ephesians 4:16


Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

We want to be focused on good things and not talking about or being involved in vain useless things that do not edify. Reminds me about the incorruptible versus corruptible and how we want to be about incorruptible things don't we too. 

The longer we walk in the Lord the more we see how different we are from the world and what they value. They are of this world and mostly about this world and not eternal things even though many claim to believe. But their fruit shows otherwise but let us be set on seeking first His kingdom and righteousness. We really are just strangers and pilgrims here, peculiar people, whose citizenship is in heaven. Hopefully that shows in what we value and how we trust this world and all we have to Him as we know it's all His. 

And we sisters may have somewhat more quiet lives being helpers and servants and involved in physical Titus 2 things but that too is pleasing to the Lord we know and it's also important how and why we do things. We want to have willing hearts not pleasing ourselves and also have thankful hearts, meek, and submitted to our role God gave us 

Well I think that's all from me sisters but I hope you keep pressing on strong in the Lord! Hold fast! Lord willing I will be back sharing here tomorrow and I hope you are back also as that means you're striving on again. And I want to encourage you in that even in a tiny way. 


Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
