Today's Edification (11 September 2024)


Hello sisters! 


Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

2 John 1:3-4

Good scripture isn't it! So much packed in even that! A million of the world's books could never equal just a small bit of His Word right sisters?! In fact it can't be compared. So let us feed on and live by and thrive in His Word of truth! 

I hope you're all walking in the truth! That is pleasing to the Father and also a joy for us to see other saints loving the truth and living it. 

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:13

It's precious to ponder on all God has done for us. He is God, King of kings and Lord of lords, and so holy, and made us and the whole world and universe and yet He came into this world to walk the earth as a human and partake of our infirmities. Though we had sinned grievously against Him and He cursed the earth because of it, yet He suffered great torment and a horrible death becoming a curse for us so that we may be forgiven. This is amazing and deep to ponder on how good He is and how much He loves us. 

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Romans 8:32

This can be hard to fathom really. 

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John 15:13-14


I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:11

It is clear to see this good Shepherd truly cares for His sheep! 

And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Luke 15:3-7

Jesus showed us more of this here too... 

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Luke 15:20-24

That's amazing isn't it. And we have to make the move to see our sin and know we need to repent of it and return to the Lord first. He doesn't force us but wants willing hearts amen sisters.


Each day is a wonderful opportunity to keep striving for the One who made us, owns us, redeemed us and loves us. There's so much hope in Christ. How blessed we are to know the truth of how to find eternal life through Him! This is a precious gift we have so let us guard it and not let anything steal it away. There are many many things in this world that could lure us away from the truth, but we fight against them with the armour God gave us to put on! And we are not naive that it can happen as the way is broad and many are on it and also many have fallen away as the Word speaks of so we must keep pressing on, taking heed to the path we are on. We want His paths don't we sisters. 

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
Psalm 17:5

 

Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 25:4-5


Hold fast my sisters! Keep being holy godly women with meek and quiet spirits, serving the Lord with gladness and whoever the Lord has in your life! 


Much love in Christ,
