Salutations sisters!
I trust you're striving on in the Lord today!
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Philippians 1:29
Christ is worthy of all we have to endure here amen sisters?! Very worthy.
Sometimes you just think more deeply about how much strangers and pilgrims we are on this earth as saints. It's how we should feel and we do! Like those who speak a different language with no one around you who speaks your own. I can't help thinking also about how Adam must have felt when he was naming the animals and there wasn't any of his kind there. So few are the true saints which we can speak the same language of truth and have fellowship in the Lord with the same goal of glorifying Him! But that's just on this earth and if we endure we shall be with Him and all His saints! But we can rejoice to be set apart for God and know this truth and share it to others who want it!
On the subject of child training...God's ways are always good and we see the destruction worldwide that happens when they are not followed. It's a rare thing to see any children being raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and not for their flesh and love of the world. Praises to sisters who work diligently to please the Lord in this area too! God is glorified!
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
1 Timothy 5:14
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Hebrews 10:1
Praise God to be able to know about the good things that were to come! We know that is Christ and His new covenant and the mystery revealed in it all! We do not have to live in the shadows any more! We sure are blessed to know this but also will be held very accountable to it all.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:28-29

Keep striving along the narrow road, sisters! Let me know if I can help encourage you in anything!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
