Today's Edification (24 August 2024)


Salutations to my godly sisters! 

I'm back again in godly love in hopes to encourage and edify you on this new day! 

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
Romans 15:2


I don't think, or rather I know for a fact, that we won't stop learning the depths of God's ways as we walk this faith life and grow and mature. He is so great and His ways so good and we are nothing and so mortal and fallen that we will always have growing to do. Thing is though that we don't want to stop or go backwards do we! March on sister soldiers! 


I got to sit outside some today and it was beautiful and refreshing and I shared a bit with you, my sisters! 


Sometimes life can be really busy and other times have some moments of peace...for me at least and there always are times and seasons and none of our lives stay the same the whole way through! 

Well, one fact is certain we came into the world with nothing and we leave with nothing. 

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy 6:7

 

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:15

We sure don't want to strive to 'gain the whole world' and lose our soul! That's foolishness. 
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Luke 12:20

That's a little side trail I guess so back to what I was saying about times and seasons. We may want to 'do' a lot of good things but then there's times we just have to 'be' His daughters. And it's all good things whatever He has for us! We can be very pleasing to the Lord 'just sitting' for years in a prison because of our faith! Let's just be faithful in what the Lord has for us! 


I was sitting under an olive tree and those trees usually remind me of the Word as there seems to be a lot of those trees in the lands of the scriptures. 

I saw these scriptures when I was looking it up and just share for interest's sake. 

Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 

And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 

And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Zechariah 4:11-14


And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Revelation 11:3-4


And then this one is a well known one! 

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Romans 11:17-22

Praise God we can be graffed in but let us also be careful lest we be cut off. 


A thunderstorm went by last night and so I sped up this video. 

I was trying to catch some lightning but didn't but I thought the clouds moving away was nice too! 


The days keep coming and going with many changes in them in His creations. 

May we too consistently do that which God created us to! May we not grow weary in well doing sisters! 

Always interesting things in His creations to see like this lichen... 

It's interesting if you look real close. 

And rain or dew drop sparkles... 

Sometimes I am minding the nine month old outside and I tell him about the birdies and the wind blowing the trees and the chickens and the sunshine and he looks around fascinated at everything. Precious:-) 


Was such a blue beautiful day today and good day for drying laundry... 


I'd share some cheese and ham muffins if I could... 



Getting some skirts ready for shipping out from my 'mobile sewing store'... 



The buds of the fruit tree about to burst felt like marshmallows or strawberries and cream or something:-) Beautiful creations! 


Just sharing a few pictures from my last few days I guess! I'm keeping going in a reasonable amount of Titus 2 works. I'm sure you all have those to do in varying amounts! And striving on for the Lord by His grace and mercy. I hope you all are too! 


Let us be valiant for the truth! There's so many who talk about the truth, claim to have the truth, all the forty or so thousand denominations in Christ's name all claim to have the truth, other religions claim to have it but there's only one pure truth! Let us seek the truth no matter the cost sisters and actually love truth and hate that which is contrary to it. When you strive after the truth you must therefore change to conform to it and reject that which is contrary to it. Our Saviour came into the world to bear witness to the truth. Let us follow after Him in His ways! 

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:21

 

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ephesians 4:21


For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John 1:17


Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6


Godly love... 

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 
1 Corinthians 13:6


Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Ephesians 4:25


Let us sisters truly love all truth! 


Sharing some scriptures on being humble and let us keep walking in it and truly His ways are good and peaceful. 


A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Proverbs 29:23


LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
Psalm 10:17


Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Proverbs 16:19


For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 57:15


Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:4


Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1 Peter 5:6


But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
James 4:6

 

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:12


He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah 6:8

Praise God for showing us what is good! Let us go and do it! 


That's what I have for today and if the Lord permit I shall be back tomorrow. Keep soldiering on in the faith wherever the Lord has you ministering. We all have a ministry and we are all servants! Christ's servants and serving others. Keep serving sisters! 


Grace, mercy, and peace, 

Sister Chayil
