Greetings godly sisters!
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:31-32
I hope you are striving in seeking the kingdom! It's a good concept to keep in mind...God's kingdom and what it is and consists of and how we seek it.
I was pondering on the word 'sound' in scripture so I share some here...
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
Titus 2:1
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1:13
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus 1:9, 13
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Let's keep ourselves in the sound things of the Lord!
Here's the next scripture reading...Luke 1.
I love Mary's attitude to her sudden changed life after the angel's announcement to her...
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:38
May we say too...His will be done!
Another good scripture here...
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 1:3-5
I'm thankful for His Word and the warnings in it! We are wise if we take heed to them! Let us not run off our feelings and false ways we have heard all our life but test all things to the Word!
That phrase in there...'turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness' is what we see all over in the churches isn't it. Shameful but glad to be set free ourselves and try to help others!
Titus 2 works of the day.
Check out this awesome cricket creation singing in the house...
I hadn't seen how they do that before! Glory to God for all the things He made in His huge creation!
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psalms 139:14-15
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
Psalms 142:3-5
Hold fast sister soldiers! Our redemption draws closer!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
