Salutations to my sisters!
I hope you're all still out there standing strong and stedfast for the Lord and valiant for the truth, and zealous for good works!
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.Titus 2:13-14
It has been a busy day for me so this may be a shorter post but not shorter on love for my sisters who love the Lord and humbly serve Him.
Little bit of catching up today from the last few days.
Helping make a pumpkin pie...
Good blessings!
Peaceful morning chore...
Tomato paste often comes in such large jars when you only need a small amount so I'm freezing it like this...
We don't want to waste what the Lord provides do we sisters!
I had travel back 'home' today and thankful for safe ones again. It's just our temporary home isn't it though wherever we live, but we're blessed to have a little place of refuge.
It's been such beautiful and warm sunny winter's days.
I was thinking how good God is to let mankind see and live in so much beauty when we just deserve a horrible place to live because of our sins. Well we don't deserve to live at all.
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:20-22
I was thinking how this life is not about us humans. God can do whatever He likes with His creation including us. Praise God that He gave us a choice to choose Him or not and showed us the way, gave His written Word, and sent Himself and did all He could. Let us strive after Him with all that we are!
What a beautiful sunset to end a busy day...
Well it's not quite the end of my day as I'm still writing my post for my sisters but surely the Lord is worthy to be praised from sunrise to sunset! The sun goes around to the other side of the earth to give daylight to any of my sisters there! It's just so silent...the sun slipping below the horizon as time moves on and another day is done. Eternity is closer. Let's keep preparing and being ready sister saints.
We are so small compared to the Creator who is outside of His creations!
There are always blessings to be found no matter the situation isn't there sisters even if it may be a trial or hard or what we might call 'bad'. Always good to look at the good things because we do know that ALL things work for good for those who love Him! Let us be thankful for all the opportunities we get to grow and learn and mature and be refined and everything that strengthens us in the Lord.
May we be clothed with humility...
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:5-7
Humility is a precious thing indeed. All be subject one to another...that surely is a part of being humble. I'm thankful the Lord cares for His people. No matter where we are...Someone cares and that is such a precious thing and gift we have in Him. Let us strive to be ready to meet Him.
I just thought this was interesting how it says in two places about David writing under inspiration of the Spirit...
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.Mark 12:36
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.Acts 1:16
We know His Word is...His Word! Let us hold it in the high place it should have and not take it lightly. I'm thankful that our Saviour came, having been prophesied about through the ages and in God's timing He came! And in the Father's timing He is also coming back again. May we be watching.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Acts 1:9-11
Just a few random thoughts and scripture to edify you! Keep pressing on and Lord willing I will be back in what looks to be another busy day for me tomorrow. But times and seasons and it's all good works. Strive on in being holy women seeking to enter the kingdom and in all good works! Worthy is our Saviour!
Love to all in Christ,
Sister Chayil
