Today's Encouragement (18 August 2023)

Greetings sisters! 

God had another day for me and you if you're reading this. He made us and owns us and we have been bought with a great price so we are not our own! Let us live to please and serve the one who owns us! 

Four sleepy lambs outside my window... 

Peaceful. 

Delicious lunch blessing... 

So thankful for such blessings. God providing daily 'bread'. These are potatoes that are just growing like 'weeds' in the garden which we didn't plant or really look after so God grew them from the ground on His own or however you want to put it. 

I was thinking of a scripture I read recently when working in the garden today... 

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Luke 3:9

We want to bear much fruit so the Father is glorified and it is proof we are abiding in the Vine! Otherwise we too will be chopped down and thrown into the fire...it's true. We don't want to shy away from the harder facts in His Word that many seem to avoid. We then can get an unbalanced and false view about God and life. We want the whole truth and out great God is so righteous and just. And who are we to question Him anyway. We dare not. 

Pulled weed mountain... 

Sometimes you don't know where to start and if you look at the whole weed patch it seems overwhelming and like you could never get it done but you just pull one weed at a time and you get there! And so it is in life one thing at a time; one day, one minute, one trial, one new experience and so on. 

I thought this bare leaf with just the veins left looked pretty and really delicate... 

So many things to see in His creation and that we can also learn from as the Word says even nature teaches us things. One being... 

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Proverbs 6:6

 

Next scripture reading to edify my sisters... 

Another packed full great one with many good things for us to heed. Thankful for His Word. 

Well I hope my sisters strive on and don't grow weary in well doing! Let's keep living for Him and knowing that He is the only one we have to please. Yet if we obey His ways others will be blessed and others will hate us but so be it as He alone is worthy! 

Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
