Today's Edification (20 August 2024)


Greetings sisters! 


Good to start out a day pondering all we have in Christ! So I'm thankful for His... 

Mercy

Grace

Hope

Love 

Peace

Atonement 

Forgiveness 

Justification 

Reconciliation 

Sanctification 

Long suffering 

Faithfulness

Truth 

Life

And so much more and in the physical food and raiment and so much more too! If that doesn't give you great joy and hope for your day I think you have some problems I have to tell you in love:-) 

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:4-7

God is so good! If only more people would serve Him. It's their loss and we can't make anyone believe and obey. 


Just finishing up sharing from the other place as I had travels today and somewhat different duties for awhile now. 

Planted a lot of potatoes out (amongst other ones that came up themselves).. 

We shall see if some of them come up as they were from old sprouts that had sat in the pantry a very long time! But His creations can be amazing in that they do what God told them to do...be fruitful and multiply so maybe they will even if kind of they looked almost dead some of them! But there's so many pototoes coming up all over the garden like 'weeds' but they're awesome 'weeds'! Just have to try to keep track of where they are when they die off for harvesting. 


Got some of the onions planted out... 

And yeah I'm not exactly sure how to plant them out but I figured God's creations can fix themselves up from an inexperienced gardener:-) I've been too busy to research it but I've seen it done and I think it's just important to not plant them too deeply as the bulb needs to grow at surface level. Leeks are different where you want to bury them deeper. Anyway this isn't a gardening blog by any means but still good to share good things we learn too. I couldn't imagine having a blog focused on the things of this life without God being the focus. So He is the focus here and glorifying Him and sharing on all sorts of good pure and true things as well! And as women we aren't teachers of doctrine so there isn't that here either and for sure women have a different role in life as well as in the body so we focus on what God called us to and of course even as women we all have different lives within God's plan and will for us. 


Wonder what 'big hungry caterpillar' munched off the tops of the cabbages? 🤔

Yeah it's called a cow! We know cows and gardens don't mix very well but it does happen. You never know what may happen from planting to harvest and if there will be one! So many things that can destroy on this earth. I'm thankful to be labouring for the Lord and eternal things and not just for the temporal things of which we do need to labour for too. 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

 

Saw these unique looking fungi in an old tyre. Reminds me of coral that grows in the sea but it's not! So many amazing things He made! 


Mole cricket creation I saw too... 

The variety is so amazing that He made! 


God granted me safe travels again on a pretty day. Always things to be thankful for! In everything give thanks He told us...yes that means all things! 


Having a thankful heart is essential for us as saints isn't it! We indeed have so much to be thankful for! 

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6

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



Pretty cheery flower creations for my sisters even if they're in a store... 


And there's a lot of these types all over... 

Hard to see against the grey sky but they're beautiful! 

All His creations are a testimony to a great Creator indeed! Let us also be His witnesses and walk in truth even if people don't read their Bibles or obey them let us do so in living out what it says for who we are - God's daughters!



Let us be ready to meet the Lord...watching. 

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 

And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

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 12:35-37

Keep striving on my beloved sisters who obey the Lord in all things! 


Much love and a holy hug, 

Sister Chayil
