Today's Edification (27 June 2024)


Greetings to my godly sisters in Christ Jesus! 


Coming back to you in His name! There is no other name whereby we must be saved! Outside of Him we can do nothing and all is vanity. 

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians 2:10
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:20
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:17

It's all about Him! The true Jesus that is. 


This will be a catching up post from the last few days today. Most importantly I am striving on in the Lord and thankful for various good works to keep occupied in. One of those being writing to you here:-) I appreciate being able to do that and I hope you're edified/built up and encouraged one way or another! All good, pure, and true things here...for His glory! 

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


Another pretty rainbow yesterday. Thankful the grass is greening up now too! And all the plants are being watered. 


Nice seeing the fresh new shoots coming up in the sunshine... 


For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mark 4:28

 

So much variety in what He made! 


Got to spray some of the aphids with a soap mix...so let's see what happens (if anything, but hopefully)! 



See that huge nest high in the tree? Yeah it's a rat nest...yuck.

Yeah they do this to trees too...chew off the bark... 

Such is life in this world with various pests and things we have to try to take dominion over if we can. 

God gave that job to mankind... 
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:28

It's interesting to look up those words in the Hebrew...subdue and dominion. 


This is just a good reminder as you go about your day... 

Holiness...we know it's essential as no one will see God without it. And we know the Spirit God gives us is His Holy Spirit and the word saint also means holy so it's a very important concept! 

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14

I liked seeing the grain on the pumpkin, like wood grain sort of... 


Natural chicken population is increasing around here... 

Looks pretty but it is creating the usual fights and things. It may look peaceful but chickens seem to fight a lot! The 'pecking order' I guess and then roosters love to as well. But we sisters don't fight! We know that is a major sin of the flesh if we do. 
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
James 3:14-16
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Philippians 2:3
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;...strife. 
(Galatians 5:19-20) 
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 13:13-14

It's quite amazing how much there is on a subject. More than you realize sometimes. The opposite would be peacemakers and we know we are to be that! Let's be peaceful sisters. 


I left while it was still dark this morning for a large cleaning job. But there was nice moonlight! 


The house I cleaned was near the ocean...

That picture's from a 30 second stop on the way by! Couldn't really stop and appreciate it at all but I get to with you in the picture! I always think if you agree to be somewhere at a certain time it has to be right on the exact minute you agreed to so I try to do that! Reminds me of these scriptures although of course sometimes things are outside of our control... 
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Matthew 5:37


Sun was rising as I cleaned... 

Nice ocean view from the second story of the house... 

No I couldn't stop and appreciate it either! Have to keep going on the task at hand. 

And another quick 30 second peek at the ocean on the way back... 

And another equally quick peek here... 


So beautiful! There's always so much in His creation to see one way or another. Well we know it's out there! So incredible. Glory to the Creator! 

This was my sunset window view while working on my blog...

Amazing too! 

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. 

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Psalm 113:2-5
Amen! 


I guess that's all from me for today sisters! I hope your godly woman's works are going well and you keep searching the scriptures to find the truth or be encouraged to keep going in the truth! Hold fast and strive on sister soldier saints!
