Greetings in love to my sisters in the Lord!
I hope you're doing well and are strong in the faith today!
I had an extra busy day again...sewing, gardening, looking after animals and other Titus 2 works but dropping in here too to edify you!
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.Acts 11:23
Amen...we must cleave unto the Lord with purpose of heart! We have a free will...may it be towards the Lord and His ways!
Indeed something such as faith is really only manifested in our actions as James 2 so clearly teaches. It is our faith that comes first which leads to actions consistent to the One in whom we believe! Our works alone are vain but praise God for a Saviour to follow and a new heart to love and obey Him! Imagine believing in God and yet not believing He means what He says?! Yet people do but may we truly believe and therefore act upon it!
Also reminds me of an example of how little faith is shown...the disciples fearing in the storm.
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.Matthew 8:26
And similarly this account...
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Matthew 14:29-31
And this is a good one to encourage us to trust in Him!
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:27-32
Much depths to continue to grow in of trust and faith and submission and fear and love of our great God!
Lord willing I will be back sharing here tomorrow. I am still taking pictures of things here and there as I go so hopefully will catch up on those here soon too. Keep pressing on in your works wherever you are sisters! And even if it's a quiet life that not many see, God sees and after all He is the one we are pleasing although we also should do well in our serving others as in a bit different context servants are to please their masters as scriptures teach! And if any of you have husbands you're working to help and please them too which pleases God. Of course not doing anything sinful in it all though. We are not our own and are striving to please first our Master in heaven.
Love to my sisters in the faith. Grace and peace to you.
