Greetings sisters!
Another day to serve the Lord with joy and press onwards! He gave us breath and a heartbeat today...so let us glorify our Creator by works that are good and pleasing to Him!
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
Let us be faithful to our faithful Lord!
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Colossians 1:2
O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.Isaiah 25:1
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.1 Corinthians 1:9
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.Luke 16:10
Let us keep living a consistent life which is a good thing if it is in all the truth! We want to be firm and unwavering in the truth but yet not too firm in anything that we won't change it or thoroughly test and be willing to change to be more biblical. We are not the truth...God and His Word are so let us be conforming our lives to it for His glory. Not twisting it to make it suit what we want but letting it be what it is and us changing to it...not the other way around. May we be...
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.Ephesians 1:6
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.John 20:29
We sure have not seen...yet we believe so much that we obey Him as if we do see Him. We trust His Word and all that was written that we might believe!
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20:30-31
I'm so thankful for His written Word and that we have it so readily available. Surely we will be without excuse.
Our God is so great and so longsuffering able to see this world groaning under the curse of sin. The darkness is great in this earth and it's end and eternity is approaching. Just as in the days of Noah...people are just going about their lives as if nothing will happen. The earth is again so corrupt and filled with a lot of violence. No new thing under the sun is there. But the Lord's day will come. He will not tarry.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Hebrews 10:35-37
Let us be ready and watching...patiently. May we be found faithful servants, occupying in our Master's commands.
I was thinking about so called Christian music (recorded or live). It's sad because it's lip service and lies often as we know they're not living godly holy set apart lives from the world. So empty and vain. And indeed such people's righteousness/good deeds of singing songs are filthy rags to God. (But, true saints righteousness is pleasing to God as that's an often misused scripture so just making that clear. You can study that scripture yourself.) We know the Word says a lot about lips.
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.Mark 7:6-7
Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Ezekiel 33:30-31
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.Matthew 23:3
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
Psalm 12:2-4
May we mean what we say and have pure hearts and lips.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.Matthew 5:37
Keep pressing towards the mark, sisters, my fellow soldiers and fellow labourers in good works!
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.Philippians 3:14
