Today's Encouragement (20 December 2023)


Greetings sisters!

Each new day begins like a blank slate. The Lord knows what will be but we have to walk it out and make the best decisions and discernments in the Lord. 

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Proverbs 27:1


But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 

Matthew 6:33-34

Let's live in each day and make the most of it within the life the Lord has for us and what He has given to us. 

(pretty flower creation God made above that a sister shared) 


This explains a lot... 

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

1 John 4:5-6

 

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. 

Luke 16:15


That reminds me how when you go out into the world you have to remember it's not going to be a popular message that people want to hear...Christ crucified and crucifying and losing their life. So you must go for God first. And most likely this will happen... 

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Galatians 4:16

And this... 

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

Psalms 109:4-5

But thankfully we have the Lord who we are working for and not for results for ourselves. We are just His tools...to do His duty and reasonable service for. 

I was pondering how the power of God will be shown in our lives. When we each come to the Lord in full surrender and become His child, a lot must change. Some things/areas may be closer to being right and may change just a little to be right and other things may need to go a long way to be in line with what God wants from us. The areas that require a great change may therefore show more of God's power! We all have strengths and weaknesses and in our weaknesses the Lord can show Himself and His strength!

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:9


And this culture, we know how far from God it is! Much must be shed from peoples lives in order for them to strive for God's high standard. We know many will seek to enter but will not be able. Let us keep examining our lives and make sure there is not one thing we aren't willing to change for our worthy Saviour! 



I had bus travel back home today...



And quite a few gospel cards went out. And I got to talk a little to three women. 



Let us be flourishing in the faith like the garden here. 


Here's the next scripture reading to edify... 

Always good to pay close attention to how Jesus handled satan's attack and scripture twisting. 


Keep fighting the good fight of faith as good soldiers of Jesus Christ with your armour on sisters! 


Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
