Greetings sister saints!
Hopefully you're pressing on in the Lord on this day!
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14
I'm thankful for saints that love the Lord and His Word and know that living for Christ is our daily life and not a once a week religious action that we do.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Acts 5:42
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
Acts 17:17
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17:11
Our whole life is to be seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness first. And we are to love the Lord our God with our whole being. There are indeed very many actions we need to do in this faith life and it's not a 'sit back and relax' life but we have to constantly press onwards and overcome the flesh by walking in the Spirit. We don't want to become lukewarm or lose our first love.
Sewing day for me...
Thankful to labour in needed things such as food and clothing are.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1 Timothy 6:6-8
And yet we have so much more than that so we do need to be careful not to be entangled with the comforts and ease of this life. Compared to many on the earth we have many 'riches' but we want to hold them all so loosely that we don't care if they get taken away. But we also want to be thankful with what we have and use them for God's glory and to further the kingdom and bless and edify others.
Hold fast sisters and I hope you strive on another day! One day closer to our salvation!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1 Corinthians 16:23
Love in Christ,
