Greetings sisters!
Yes, another day is here! Let us rejoice in all the amazing things that make a day happen! All is upheld by the Lord as without Him there is nothing! And it really is going to end one day...by fire. It's unique to think that at one time water covered the land right where we are living, in God's judgement on the whole earth. And yet in His mercy...here we are today. So I'm thankful for another day to live for Him and keep striving after the truth! His goodness and mercy is our hope.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.Psalm 23:6
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.Psalm 100:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.Psalm 86:5
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.1 Chronicles 16:34
Let us keep following after Him stedfastly!
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.Psalm 63:8
I heard this scripture and it's good for rejoicing in the Lord that we Gentiles can have mercy too!
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Romans 15:9-12
Rejoice and praise the Lord for His goodness sisters! He is the good news to the whole world! WHOSOEVER may come to Him and be cleansed and made new! Yes that's you, and me, and anyone who will come! Come everyone! Believe and repent and be made new by His Spirit to obey Him faithfully until the end!
Peeking at yesterday's sunrise...
So amazing! Glory to God that we don't have to worry whether or not the sun will feel like coming up or if it will fail! His creations obey Him from the beginning until He ends them.
Funny onion sprouts...
I was trying to figure out ways to use more up. It's just a race against time and the course of nature. You can freeze them...I might try that a little, though there's not much room and I'm sure they will smell in there! But just do what I can and be good with that. It is horrendous the food waste around the world though. There's greed and there's gluttony and wastefulness, and idleness and then there's the poor and people who are dying from starvation. It's a troubled world groaning under the curse indeed. But yet there's still so much hope and good things the Lord has done and is doing.
You know God is being longsuffering when our culture is like previous ones He destroyed.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
And now we have all the spiritual deception as well. Perilous times indeed. But He is coming.
This scripture has been in my mind...
I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 8:6, 12
When someone comes to repentance...they realize with horror and shame what they have done. We may want someone or everyone to repent but we can't make anyone and we know the heart can be so hard and the eyes so blind. Let us walk circumspectly and humbly knowing we are flesh and nothing before an Almighty God.
I've been having a fruitful day. Animal and garden works and sewing and other usual and various Titus 2 works. But even if we sisters do something a lot...doesn't take away from the fact of good works going on! Let us truly do them unto the Lord. I'm just pondering the fact of just being content to know what we do pleases the Lord and that is a huge thing really! We may think our light doesn't or can't shine very far and we're so small but we just need to be faithful in little.
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. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.1 Thessalonians 4:1-2
Keep pressing on sisters! We know we must endure to the end to be saved! I want to encourage you to do that. None of us want to get choked out, or grow weary, or faint, or fall away, or be caught up in the deceitfulness of sin, or lose our first love, or be not watching and occupying in what the Master gave us His servants to do. We don't want to have our light taken away and we definitely don't want to be turned over to a strong delusion. Guard that precious treasure of seeking after truth with all that you are!
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.Hebrews 2:1
There's so much in His Word about watching too...
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.1 Thessalonians 5:6
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.Luke 21:36
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.Luke 12:37
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.1 Corinthians 16:13
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.1 Peter 4:7
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.Revelation 3:2
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.Mark 13:33
We are wise if we heed and obey. Let's watch, sisters.
Lord willing I will be back tomorrow and I hope you are also because that means God gave you another day and you have hope! I hope most of all it means your soul is prospering and you are glorifying the Lord! Strive on sisters!
