Are you pressing on strong in the Lord today?
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21
I hope and pray you are! Keep clinging to the Word of truth in this incredibly confused and deluded age.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians 2:11-13
I was pondering God actually being pleased with us...by what we do.
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:16
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.2 Timothy 2:3-4
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
1 Thessalonians 4:1
And that also means He is not pleased with other things...obviously. We want to please Him don't we, as obedient servants and children of His. Let's keep seeking to please Him sisters!
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 3:22
Matthew 16 reading here...
We have to look through, over, above, and past the things of this world to the things of God don't we! And even though there are many physical things of this world we have to do, which at times can crowd in on us, we have to strive to keep our hearts and minds on spiritual things and things above. But let's keep pressing on knowing one day we will be delivered from this present evil world.
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Galatians 1:4
Was pondering on what this scripture says...pollutions of the world.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
2 Peter 2:20-21
Praise God we can escape it's pollutions! But let us not get entangled with it ever again! We don't want to do we sisters.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:15-17
It's so fleeting and vain isn't it. We have our heart set on the eternal!
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James 4:4
We have no friendship with the world. And we are aliens just passing through here and doing the Father's business best we can.
Would share with all the saints worldwide...
Good blessings from the Lord.
Let's not compare them! It will be worth it all!
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:23
Amen...that's what we're waiting for through this troubled world.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26
Praise God He will destroy death forever! Let us be found worthy to escape the second death.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Keep rising up in His strength, sisters!
Soldier on, no matter what!
Rejoice evermore!!!
Labours aren't in vain in the Lord!
Be of good cheer!
Worthy is the Lamb!
Godly love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
