Today's Edification (15 February 2024)

 


Hello sisters!


A brand new day to serve the One who is worthy!

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 5:12


Only the Lord knows what each day will have in it for us all. We just have to get up and 'go' as time is moving on. And we just 'be' godly women as well. We press on, 'doing' our best in it and 'seeing' what He has for us. We want to be stedfastly focused on Him as that will help keep us grounded and settled whatever the day may bring...good or 'bad'. It's always a good day to serve the Lord...come what may! 


Let's keep receiving and walking in the truth with gladness! And not be like this...

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

Mark 4:16-17


Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Revelation 2:4-5


May we keep our first love and may our love for Him grow!

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1 John 5:3


May we more diligently search His Word for how He would have us obey Him. We want to be faithful servants! And when we have done all that...say we are unprofitable servants that have just done our duty, nothing more! We are living sacrifices unto Him! We are not our own! 


We know about not casting pearls. It's a command Jesus gave that we must obey. If you have given someone the gospel and more truth and they refuse or trample it, we must leave the rest to God. We want people to come to repentance of the truth but we cannot force anyone. They must want it all on their own will and be diligently seeking it by faith. Let us just keep pressing on shining our own lights and ready to give an answer of the hope we have. Now that's who we are completely responsible for...ourselves. And let us give the precious truth to others and see how they respond and act accordingly. 


Let's not let the accuser of the brethren discourage us or steal anything from us, sisters! He will be cast down one day and is nothing but a liar and murderer anyway! 

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:10-11

Hold fast to the Lord, though the one as a  lion roaring and roaming, and the angel of light is about us, sisters! 

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

1 Peter 5:9

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Luke 4:8


Getting tomato blessings into the freezer. What awesome pretty creations He made! 

(To be frozen and then bagged up.) Maybe I can think about drying some too! 

There's a recipe up for chickpea tomato salad here.

I'd share...
And my sisters are always welcome in my little home! 

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Peter 4:8-9
