Today's Encouragement (23 October 2023)


Salutations to my sisters! 

Hopefully you're striving on steadfastly and strong today! 


And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 

There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

1 Samuel 2:1-3 

Amen...good and true words. The Lord is our Rock and He is the one and only God! How blessed we are to have His Word and know Him through it. And importantly to be known and accepted of Him also... 


But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

1 Corinthians 8:3


I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Romans 12:1


I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:14


But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Acts 10:35

 

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

2 Corinthians 5:9


First snow for the winter here... 


God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

Job 37:5-6



She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

Proverbs 31:21

 


He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

Psalm 147:16-17

 


Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Isaiah 1:18


Even though I've never lived where it snowed...I better get used to it here! 


And I had to share this beautiful picture a sister shared... 

More glory to God the Creator...and in fact to Jesus Christ also of course! 
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:3
He is worthy of all praise! 

Hold fast sisters! And we don't let our circumstances affect our joy in the Lord as we have so much in Him and a home to come if we endure! Strive on soldiers! 


Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
