Greetings sisters!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:3-4
I hope you are striving on in all truth and growing in the Lord, sisters! Holding fast and pressing on, not falling back either. We know this faith life is one of action both physically and spiritually. We have a battle to fight. Not a physical one of war as that is not God's will for His saints at all, but one of spiritual warfare against sin and wickedness and the evil one...and our fleshly mind/heart.
I shared some scriptures on battle and running our race etc...
Hope those edify and bless you!
Peaceful creation video from where I was reading the above scriptures...
We know we shall be greatly misunderstood in this life and thought ill of but let's not care about that but what the Lord cares about as we want to please Him! Let's be willing to bear the reproach of Christ and do it boldly and without shame! God knows the truth!
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Hebrews 11:25-26
We can praise God for the truth and light and knowledge we have that can set others free instead of worrying about what our flesh feels like!
God's glory...that should be in the forefront of our minds in all the decisions we need to make. And especially when faced with hard things or things that could make us get in our flesh. Let us think of God's glory and others before ourselves and our feelings.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:7-10
I was pondering this scripture...
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Luke 21:2-4
And how we have to give our all to the Lord, our whole life. And our best in our abilities is all we can give and the Lord sees our willing heart to grow and even if we feel we are weak and imperfect in areas we do our best with what the Lord gave us. In fact, we never want to think we are good in something ourselves as that could be pride but if we do have gifts, give God the glory as all we have is from Him! And we can use those gifts to bless others and use them well in His service.
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:11
Glory to Him!
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
1 Corinthians 14:12
Keep striving on as good soldiers sisters!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
