Greetings sisters who truly love the Lord without compromise!
He granted us another day to live for Him! Let us look to Him as our perfect example in all things! We have much following to do! He set a perfect standard for us. Let us pour over His Word to find the way to follow Him!
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
James 4:6-10
Let us meekly submit to Him and His Word and ways. They are good when followed! Let us long for His pure ways...and eagerly devour and live them! How we need them in this age we live in.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Psalm 119:129-133
Next Matthew reading here...
I got a large sewing order just in time before I left this morning so that's a blessing! Perfect timing. God is good.
Thankful for thick shade blessings on a hot trip...
And thankful for safe travels! Praise Him for all good things! So I will have different serving works to do for awhile.
And for some reason the best time to sing to the Lord is when you're all alone driving. Lots of quiet time to ponder in I guess. And yeah it's just you and the Lord and you make up your own words as you go...whatever is on your heart at the time!
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.Romans 5:11
We sisters have left the drug of music behind so it is just the Lord giving us joy! No one can deny the mood and emotion altering affect of music. We want truth and the Lord to be everything to us! He wants that from us too. We don't want a music idol before Him. He is a jealous God.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
Let us sisters take the higher ground and be spiritual by not having fleshly envy and strife and divisions. We know that is not the wisdom from above.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
James 3:14-16
Let that not be once named among us, His spiritually born daughters. If there's confusion anywhere...that could be the source right there...envying and strife.
This is a verse that should put some fear into us to make sure we are being merciful....
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.James 2:12-13
Let us all remember where the Lord has brought us from! We didn't jump from wicked to 'perfect' all in one second did we. It was a process of the Lord opening our eyes. And we obeyed the truth we knew...step by step. Not to say there wasn't a ton of change when we first saw how much we needed to repent of and the Lord changed our heart. Praise God He did! Reminds me of Lydia whose heart the Lord opened...
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
Acts 16:14
And we're still going! And will keep going until our death or the Lord's return. We have not attained even as brother Paul had not. But we press on! We can rejoice in being able to know the truth and also know of other willing hearts striving on and growing and learning too. Let us never ever think we are something or could not be wrong.
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:11-13
So sad how people believe so confidently that they have salvation locked up guaranteed. They have believed a major lie of satan's. But let us also guard our own life as we all know we can fall.
Press on into being more like Him sisters...pure and holy and perfect! Hold fast!
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Hebrews 7:25-26
Unfeigned love in Christ,
