Greetings sisters!
Another day to serve Him! I hope that's what you're all doing and I am here. We just keep striving on forwards don't we sisters. There is abundant hope and mercy to be found in our Saviour Jesus Christ!
Let us keep walking in the fear of God...
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.Hebrews 4:1
Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.Deuteronomy 13:4
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.Hebrews 12:28-29
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.Psalm 2:11
It's autumn again...
Seems I just had one though when I was overseas:-) Beautiful creations He made!
I was blessed with two cleaning jobs in the last two days so that's an extra blessing.
And the world was rushing around doing what they do on weekends. It just makes me thankful to not be there anymore. I know I was once spending many a weekend wasting time on worldly things in music or in believing Sunday is the Lord's day and doing what many do on that day, but the Lord set me free! This life in Christ is so much better because it's not in vain and He is so worthy!
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.1 Corinthians 6:11
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:1 Peter 1:18-19
Praise God sisters and let us who have been set free rejoice together in His mercy and forgiveness! And maybe He will use us to help others be set free too. We hope EVERYONE would be, but sadly most don't seem to want to be. We know our Saviour sure is mighty enough to save the whole world with His precious blood but people have their own free will and God knows the hearts of man and who will choose Him or not. Let us be wise as serpents and pure as doves in this corrupt generation sisters. We are His witnesses, lights in this world. Let us be good examples of His truth lived out as godly women.
Here's some scriptures on 'above all'. This first verse stood out to me while I was listening today and I thought I'm sure that means I have some growing to do in love. I'm sure we all do in so many areas. That's why we can keep growing and growing and growing and we will never stop! Well we don't want to do we sisters.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.James 5:12
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.Colossians 3:14
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.Ephesians 6:16
We see some very important things there! Let us see things the way we should, and have everything in the correct order that the Lord has them in or commands us to.
Peaceful view as I cooked this evening...
The moon is getting bigger again.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psalm 8:3-6
I added another tomato salad recipe to my blog here too. It's really delicious I say.
That was preceded by the simple pleasure of picking sun-warmed cherry tomatoes on a still autumn evening...
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:5-8
That's a really big thing. He cared...enough.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
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 2:4-10
It's all to His glory and we will get to be glorified with Him one day too!
And now He has called us to a high calling and to work worthy of Him because we now have the power to do so by faith in Him and with His Spirit and the Word and all He has given us! He is interceding for us to the Father and I'm so thankful we can find peace with God through Him! You can find the gospel path to eternal life explained some here but better yet search the New Testament scriptures to find it all yourself and stay away from all the deceptions of the churches and online today. Search the Word with a truly humble mind ready to lose all to follow Him. The Lord said if we seek with our whole heart we will find.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:36-37
There is nothing worth losing our soul for. You will have an eternity of deep and bitter regret if you don't do something today if you haven't.
I don't want anyone to be like this man in hell...
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
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.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Luke 16:23-31
He at least seemed to have some compassion on his brothers and didn't want them coming there. But God is good to give us that account to warn us of that place He sends people to who are children of disobedience.
The seriousness of this life...is very real. Very very real. Hold so fast to the Lord and His truth sisters. Anyone else...repent while you still have time. I hope we all stay low and humble before the Lord in a constant state of repentance and reliance on Him.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:3-6
Strive on sisters...as good soldiers enduring hardness for the One who is worthy! It will be worth it all.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.1 Corinthians 16:23
Love to you all in the Lord,
Sister Chayil
