Today's Encouragement (17 November 2023)

Greetings sisters! 

A new day God gave us. We want to be redeeming the time in fruitful works don't we. What a blessing to labour for the One who is worthy! Let us treasure this and not take it lightly. The fact that we are His witnesses is a big responsibility and we don't want to bring reproach on His name by our actions. 

One thing that is important to keep in mind is that everything we have is not our own but the Lord's. We see that in the book of Job and in other scriptures. 

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psalm 24:1

And we ourselves are also the Lord's of course and not our own to do as we please. 

I know this is a well known scripture about how we should be faithful in little...and we should be. 

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Luke 16:10

But we don't want to forget the other part about a little of being unjust means we are unjust in much. We don't want to be that do we sisters. 

Reminds me of this one... 

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Galatians 5:9

Let us strive hard to overcome the flesh, and the Lord will help us! 

Next scripture reading to edify... 

Some very sobering things in there but also of joy for those who are faithful too! 

I love thinking about working with quietness and eating their own bread. Shows a picture of someone working hard and minding their own business. 

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

2 Thessalonians 3:12

Laziness has no part in a saint's life. 

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

2 Thessalonians 3:10

 

Thank you for the scriptures and pictures sisters... 

Amen let us obey all His commandments without delay. And He will help us with all the discernment for situations we need that come along. 

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:14

Thankful to have His written Word...and sisters who love and obey Him! 

Hold fast sisters and keep pressing on in the battle! 

Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
