Hello sisters!
I am dropping in again to share a little edifying content for your day whenever you may get the chance to drop in here too! God gave us this day...so let us use it to do good and bear much fruit for His glory!
I've had a really busy day sewing mostly and getting organized and reoriented here again and Titus 2 works and things. I hope you're all just pressing on in the works in your life, minding your own business and striving to live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. God's ways are good...always!
I was reading in Revelation and about how Jesus said to a body of believers to hold fast to what they had. We don't want to lose anything that we have but be growing and moving forward don't we sisters. We must keep standing and not letting the world overwhelm us or the cares of this life.
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark 4:18-19
No we don't want that! We still have to be careful balancing out everything we do to keep it all in the right perspective and do it all unto the Lord too. We sure don't want to gain the world and lose our souls. There is a time for refreshing and just having a break no matter how small or even longer ones, from our labours, especially if we feel ourselves growing weary or losing our focus. There is always a time to test ourselves and make sure we are pleasing the Lord number one.
I was looking up a scripture with the word 'led' in it to share with a sister and I couldn't help noticing all the references to Jesus being led by man in His trial. He is God and yet He truly humbled Himself and became obedient to the death of the stake...pleasing His Father for us. No doubt He could have easily escaped unlike us who are so powerless but He truly submitted and went through with what He had come to accomplish.
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
Mark 15:16,20
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:Acts 8:32
Truly He was meek and lowly.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
And yet we know He is coming in judgement the next time. Let us be ready, sisters. Watch!
Keep holding fast in the faith! Lord willing I will be back here tomorrow.
Much love in Christ and a hug to my holy sisters!
