Greetings sisters!
Here I am again as the Lord made it possible, for only in Him do we live and move and have our being! We know He upholds all things and nothing exists without Him! I hope you're all striving on wherever you are on this earth. I am keeping busy here so perhaps some briefer posts for awhile but times and seasons and we do what we can don't we sisters! Keep going in all your good works whatever they are!
It is a big responsibility to be His witnesses and bear His name isn't it. We don't want to bring reproach upon it do we. I know we're humans and have weakness and infirmities of course and may fail but let that keep us humble and reliant on Him all the more and also be an encouragement that He still uses us! In Him is hope; outside of Him is condemnation and destruction. Let us abide in Him, continuing in the faith!
Good to ponder walking in newness of life...
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Romans 6:4-6
There is much about new in the New Testament isn't there! Maybe I can read some scriptures on an audio with some to encourage us sometime!
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.2 Corinthians 5:17
I was listening to scripture and this stood out about John being filled with the Holy Spirit as a baby. That's interesting! Nothing is impossible with God of course! He is in control.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.Luke 1:15
There's always something to ponder on deeper in the Word isn't there!
I saw something that brought this scripture to mind how it can and does happen that people fall further away from whatever truth they did have and get assimilated into the world.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.Proverbs 4:23
Reminds me of this scripture too...
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.2 Peter 3:17
We surely do have to keep diligent at maintaining our faith. And while it may certainly be the last thing we want to happen, to fall away, we can never think we are anything lest we fall. We have not attained yet so let us keep striving and pressing towards the mark! May no gain in this world cause us to lose our soul.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?Luke 9:25
Keep being vigilant and on guard sisters.
Well I had better go now. Lord willing I will be back here tomorrow. Keep holding fast to the truth and pure ways of God in a dark world!
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;Philippians 2:15
Love to you all in His name,
