Today's Edification (16 September 2024)

Greetings sisters! 

The Lord our God reigns on this day...and forever! We know for a season man gets to make his choices and satan is on the loose but one day His people will be with Him and satan will be cast away forever. But our God reigns today! He is in control and one day will return to this earth in judgement and to gather His saints home! What a great day that will be! Let us keep being sober and preparing for that time. 

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

1 Peter 4:7

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

1 Peter 1:13-15 

Good scriptures! And yeah...our former lusts in our ignorance. Truly we were very ignorant in the past...but now praise God we know the truth and that sin and false ways are definitely not pleasing to God and still have a cost if we live in them wilfully. The truth always makes us free! We have been freed from sin and become servants to God! 

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:17-23 

We are so blessed to know this truth so let us not take it lightly. Having eyes to see and ears to hear is no light matter. Let us walk humbly with our God and with a thankful heart. 

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

I read some scriptures on the Lord our rock here so hopefully those are strengthening to you too! 

And sharing some things from my past few days here. I think I have travel again tomorrow...but let's see! You learn that things can sometimes change so fast and you have to be flexible! Indeed if the Lord wills. 

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Proverbs 27:1

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

James 4:15

I would share chocolate zucchini bread... 

Thought I better use some of the zucchini from the freezer from last season before the next season ones come! But they haven't been planted yet. 

Second round of carrot thinning... 

Good for snacks! (and I think I'll take them to the children's as they love carrots! And little carrots are good for little people!) 

I was thankful to get my skirt sewing done finally! 

(thankful for a patient customer too:) 

Still going on my huge roll (or 'hay bale':) of bubble wrap... 

Usually things are cheaper to buy in bulk which can be good if you're going to use things. I'm thankful to be able to have a little sewing shop. Biblical clothing will never be popular but I'm thankful 150 items have been shipped out over the fours years I've had it going! Glory to God and it's a blessing to be able to have and do. And the glorious gospel of Christ goes out to new customers too...so that seems to make it even more worthwhile of course! 

Got a few headcoverings sewn also... 

Maybe finish them next time I am back and I have more fabric on order for them so I keep my stock levels up. Just do what I can and you too sisters wherever you are! 

Many blessings in this picture... 

A cozy place to sleep and work and a morning cup of tea as God's mercies are new every morning! A nice cup from a dear sister, and sunshine, and a good time to ponder on the Lord and so very many things that make life keep going that it's easy to overlook as they're always there. God's whole creation is very complex and interconnected! So we have innumerable blessings really especially as saints in the Lord. 

Thankful to finally be getting egg blessings here! 

That little peach tree in the garden is just so amazing! 

I planted out the rest of the onions... 

And did a lot of watering (and weeding) in the garden as it's so dry now. Water is just so essential to life. 

Maybe you can't see them very well but there's a whole lot of birds circling around in an air current... 

Looks kind of like a 'bird tornado' or something. Anyway they seem to enjoy it! Flight itself is an amazing ability God put into some of His creatures! 


And some more pretty flowers for you, my sisters in Christ! 

Glory to God for all good, pure, and true things! 

There's still many good things on this earth all of which are from above. Man's heart is wicked and nasty though and this earth is so corrupt and it's a faithless and perverse generation and perilous are the times but our God reigns! Our redemption draws nearer sisters! Let that encourage us to keep pressing on as the world gets darker and more evil. There is hope ahead and our reward God is preparing for those who love Him! Strive on my sisters and may our Lord come soon! 

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 

Revelation 22:20-21

In His love,
