Hello sisters!
I'm back and I trust you also are continuing to seek the Lord!
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.Psalm 9:10
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.Psalm 40:16
There's much about seeking the Lord in His Word. We are to seek His kingdom and righteousness first.
Getting some dry wood in yesterday before the rain...
The type of trees here are usually dropping huge limbs so that's a great source of firewood. So simple yet satisfying or something:-) Just basic necessities of life of heating a house (and if necessary you can cook with it and dry clothes).
And the rain came and it smelled so fresh! I was thankful to get most all the laundry done...so let it rain! 🌧️
I was sitting on the porch with the 6 month old and he was staring at the rain (he hasn't seen much) and was getting sleepier and sleepier and fell asleep to the soothing sounds:-) Precious little ones. Innocent and pure in this dark world.
I'd share savoury muffins...
Or choc chip oatmeal cookies...
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.Revelation 7:9-10
This is something the children here were playing with...
Just a little container with beach creations in it:-) Good things of His creations to learn about.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.Philippians 4:8
The children here are really fascinated by squirrels and like to see videos of them like the ones I took when I was in Canada as there aren't any here. Good, pure, and true things for little ones in this world where many of the world's children are playing video games which include violence, sitting in front of televisions and movies, reading fantasy books, getting shoved off to school and such like. Just keep remembering to be so thankful to raise children in the Lord if you have them sisters. It's a big job and responsibility. The Lord help you!
No matter what we do or say there's always going to be someone who takes it wrongly or thinks we did it for a wrong motive. The world doesn't understand us. And neither does the Christianity of our day. But again let's just do what we need to as unto the Lord and not worry about what humans think. They didn't receive Him when He came unto His own. We are no better than our Master.
In this world we live in, I would much rather have the Lord see and know all my thoughts and actions (as He certainly does!) than man who has a fallen heart who may twist or misunderstand or take wrongly or mock something you meant in all sincerity and good will. So some may think we hide in the dark when we're not! So if I decide not to share everything I do or say on my blog here or what others say to me...it is only hidden from man's eyes not the Lord's and I'm completely good with that. Man can be evil...God is not! David knew this also...
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.2 Samuel 24:14
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.Matthew 10:16
Let us walk through these perilous times as wisely as possible. We have been told to beware of men.
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;Matthew 10:17
We don't fear man but we should wisely consider how we walk through this life with the wicked all around.
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.1 Samuel 18:14
We naturally will be wanting to withhold some things from people who are out to get others, for sadly there are people like that just as we sisters wouldn't walk through a dark alley in a city alone. That's not fear of man...but wisdom.
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.Psalm 56:5
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.Matthew 7:6
I understand no human is to be trusted like the Lord is but we are to follow after the Lord as His dear children. No doubt this would include the area of being faithful and trustworthy. Surely we don't mean the same speaking of trustworthy humans as God is! They're just faithful and wise and careful and loving and reliable etc the best they humanly can be with the Lord's help.
Which brings me to the fact of what trusting in the Lord means. There's many scriptures about that and we know He is good and worthy of all our confidence! We are so blessed in that! Trust in Him with all your heart sisters and I will strive to do the same here, and let's go forth confident in His goodness!
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.Psalm 34:8
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.Psalm 9:10
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:Psalm 7:1
We know we don't need human words. You don't need my blog. We all just need the Word of God.
We know the world and people in general love to hear 'some new thing'...but my blog is focused around the Word so nothing new here really. And certainly no gossip about others so nothing that is highly esteemed among men. We know man loves something 'new' as the media is full of it as well as other things including the denominations of the false churches which are growing in number as the deception increases.
His Word is sufficient for us and for edifying the body. But it's good for His saints to edify one another also which I am striving to do here while I can but it's just extra.
I hope all your good godly woman's works are going well sisters. Keep pressing on in them one more day!
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.Psalm 84:11-12
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
