I'm coming back again here to edify you, my sisters who love the Lord! Edify you with the Word and perhaps share some glimpses into the life of another godly woman that may encourage you. Never know what our days will bring forth. And we can give Him glory for all good things!
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.John 15:8
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.Matthew 5:16
Those are two scriptures on ways we can glorify Him!
I hope you're doing well sisters and are standing stedfast and unmoveable where ever you are scattered on this huge earth! While I don't know if there are any sisters reading here...I keep pouring out to any who may be and only God knows all things! We do things heartily as to the Lord don't we! And any seekers who are sisters-to-be one day might be reading but either way the Lord sees all we do and will reward accordingly. None of our labours are in vain if done unto Him! We sure know how few there are in these last perilous days. We are to let our lights shine as I shared above. We serve One God who is eternal and endures forever! We live by His Word and not man's.
Here's the Matthew 18 reading...
More good things in there! I'm thankful the Lord told us all He did. We know His Word is not just to be read but to be obeyed. How wonderful it is when people obey His Word! Everything works together well and there is peace and unity. But when anyone goes outside of His ways there is always trouble and confusion. And in this life, there always will be such problems as we have not attained yet and we are not God. But let us strive our hardest to walk in all His ways amen sisters?! And be forbearing and merciful and long suffering to those who are striving on!
We are not the truth...but we represent the truth, strive our best to at least, so we could be wrong and only His Word is the rock solid unchanging truth! We keep searching it to see what the Lord has told us and to learn the truth! Of course it is prideful to ever think we could never be wrong or to think we have salvation guaranteed and locked up for us no matter what we do. Let us be low and meek and poor in spirit always. Let us test all things to His Word...and test some more! And then test some more!
A thought came to me that I wanted to share with you with some scriptures...
It's about the Lord knowing all things and how we can rest in that instead of spending all our 🤔 brain power 🤔 trying to figure out situations we have no control over!
I was able to get five headcoverings done.
And I put in an order for fabric for twenty two more. They have been selling out on my shop sort of lately so I want to keep on top! I buy this fabric from the UK as it's the best and most consistent source I can find and I'm thankful for that! I'm sure you know ordering online has it's risks but when you find something good it's a great blessing and you don't run the risk of wasting money on useless products or spending more time looking either. So praise God! And I'm very thankful to have the outlet to sew for those wanting to dress biblical...whether or not the people are fully biblical or even of the Christian faith at all. The gospel goes out at least and it's always good to clothe the body!
This was my view when I got to the garden this morning...
It's probably not dangerous to walk near it as I have knee length rubber boots on. But yeah not really what you want to have around if they are the second most deadly land snakes in the world. One good thing, it may eat the mice and rats that are around and that eat the produce. We have to be on guard physically but more importantly...spiritually.
Saw the super cute frog creation again...
Made me smile:-) Good and pure things in a dark world that God let's us see. And I want to share good things with you too. Each of us are strangers and pilgrims through this wicked world.
Chicks are sure no longer little...
And the chicken mum sure doesn't want anything to do with them anymore and is 'mean' to them (in human terms). In this case, nature doesn't teach us...except perhaps if the grown children are rebellious against the truth and don't want to hear it, a godly mother would and should separate from them (but not be mean).
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.Matthew 10:34-38
Yes that's the truth...and we sure want to be worthy of the Lord amen sisters...no matter what!
Quick evening trip to the nearest town to post something. And the gospel went up.
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.Matthew 22:8-9
Peaceful creations on a beautiful evening...
God is good and His creation is good.
Looks like some kind of wild mint plant. It's flourishing whatever it is. May we be flourishing in the Lord too!
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.Psalm 92:12-13
In those times that it hits you that you miss your spiritual family...use that as a time to make sure you're ready to be with the Lord and all His holy saints one day. We should do that all the time of course but this life is not the one where we will get everything 'good'. It's ok to greatly desire to have truly holy people in your life, as our brother Paul surely did, but let us use that to get ready for the next life and to grow stronger here and not weaker.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.Luke 16:25-26
Remember that great gulf fixed. There will not be a time of second chances one day will there. Ponder on the Lord's great mercy today to give us and all people many chances to repent. He is so long suffering, not willing that any should perish.
The world is receiving it's reward today...in living how they please and with all pleasures of sin for a season. But we know it's truly all empty and vain and that torment coming in the next life awaits them.
Our good reward is in the next life sisters! Press on until then...looking to Jesus!
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.Colossians 3:23-24
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.Matthew 5:11-12
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.Revelation 11:18
Who wouldn't want to spend eternity with our great God and Saviour! We know He is good and merciful and kind and loving and gracious. He has done all He can to make a way for us. Of course we know to fear Him as He is also wrath and severity and judgement if we sin on and on and do not repent. So let us work out our salvation with fear and trembling, knowing the righteous will scarcely be saved. It is a serious matter. But He gives us peace and joy if we walk in the light and we know we are pleasing Him.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.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 3:18-22
I love that!
May we keep being consistent and not tossed to and fro...
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;Ephesians 4:14
May we be peaceful in God's order (and not of confusion)....
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.1 Corinthians 14:33
May we be stedfast...
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.1 Corinthians 15:58
May we be unwavering...
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)Hebrews 10:23
And so much more! Stand like rocks on the solid Rock of Christ, sisters! He is our firm foundation...we shall not be moved!
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Psalm 62:5-7
Hold fast till He comes, precious sisters! Be valiant for the truth!
Love to you all,
Sister Chayil
