Today's Edification (5 January 2024)

Greetings sisters! 

A new day of His mercies! 

(peaceful morning bed view:-) 

I hope you're all striving on in your day wherever you are sisters! 

Here's some scriptures on pleasing/displeasing to edify you... 

I was reading in the Old Testament a little and you see just how detailed God was in it.

And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake. 

If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. 

But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.

Exodus 21:27-29

That would have been a blessing to know how to live. We know we have a different and better way in Christ today! 

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Hebrews 7:18-19

 

Let us fill our lives with edifying good things and focus our mind on the Lord and spiritual things as we labour in physical things. 

I was reading the book of Ephesians today and thinking how people like to pull out some verses towards the beginning (faith alone/grace alone lies) but if you read the whole book at once you get the full picture! There's list after list of good works we are to obey in there! We know we are His workmanship created unto good works! 

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:8-10

(I do not see grace alone or faith alone in there do you?! No.) 

I was pondering the fact that although I have very little memory of my childhood all I do remember is the bad things I did. We know God puts a conscience in all people and guilt from sin can imprint on the mind greatly even at young ages. And while I may not have had full knowledge of sin and what it was as a child I'm thankful to know now and to be fighting against it in the knowledge of the truth. And praise God that He remembers our sins no more that we repent of! 

Sometimes when you're in a quiet room and you suddenly notice a clock ticking you realize time is moving on one way and eternity is coming closer each second. There's no moving backwards in time to redo anything so let's redeem the time as best we can sisters in good works in whatever our calling is! It's good to plan ahead so time isn't wasted (yet knowing things do change and His will be done) and be organized and write notes down of things that need doing/remembering if you're a forgetful person like me! 

I like seeing the pretty shiny tomato blessings... 

Many awesome blessings the Lord provided! 

Simple Titus 2...

As we want to be content and thankful so let's remember all our blessings behind being able to do such things every day! Praise God for warm water, soap, things to eat and drink with, strength to work etc and that there's water to drink and food to eat! There's many more blessings like air to breathe and hands to work with and freedom to work and serve Him in our godly woman works! So many we couldn't even count them! 


I added another zucchini bread recipe here. 

And another zucchini soup recipe here.

Praise the Lord for all our blessings to keep us fed to keep doing His works! 

A sister shared this scripture from Revelation and I was pondering that one day we won't be hungry or thirsty ever again. And I like looking at scriptures that are in both the old and new testaments. It's interesting. Praise God for revealing all He wanted us to know! 

I read Psalm 1-7...

(Thought I'd read a few selected books of the Old Testament inbetween finishing in the New Testament. See how many more days the Lord gives me of course!) 

Let us sisters strive to be more... 

surrendered
humble
poor in spirit
God-fearing
holy
meek

perfect

thankful 

content

sacrificed
pleasing to Him

...and much more for His glory! 

We know we need faith like a child. We don't know what God is doing in our lives or why things may be but let us trust that He knows best and we know all things works for good amen sisters?! He reigns and His will be done! 

Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 

Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 

Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

1 Chronicles 29:11-13

Hold fast until He comes! 

Godly love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
