Today's Edification (21 October 2024)

Hello again sisters! 

I hope you are all well in the Lord today! 

Indeed His grace is sufficient for us! Let us remember all His goodness and be glad and thankful and encouraged to press on each day! 

Our God is gracious... 

And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 

Exodus 33:19

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. 

Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.

Genesis 33:5,11

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 

Psalm 116:5

For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

2 Chronicles 30:9

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 

Isaiah 33:2

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Psalm 112:4

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Numbers 6:24-26

What a blessing to serve such a wonderful God...indeed the only one, true, and living God! 

But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 

Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

Jeremiah 10:10-12

Indeed we also fear to obey Him and strive to abide in His love as our Saviour taught us. 

I'm catching up on some pictures today too. Just a glimpse into what I'm up to or saw. There's always something in His creations to see and marvel at too! And I want to pass on any good things to my sisters and perhaps it's encouraging somehow! 

So beautiful night sky to take pictures of last night!

Glory to God! 

You can faintly see a comet on the right too. Well in the picture but not with your eyes. 

Looking like summer in the garden. 

A simple pleasure...pulling giant carrots from the ground... 

And digging up potatoes... 

Like finding hidden treasures. Indeed blessings of food that the Lord provided! 

Been so much sewing going on here... 

I got two of these skirts sewn and up on my store. 

And working on restocking shirts too and other experiments too! I'm still learning a lot but whenever you come across a better technique it's good to learn it well. 

Animal works too... 

Looking dry and dead like summer here... 

But thankful for some rain God sent... 

It's beautiful seeing raindrops on everything especially flowers. Simple pleasures. Good pure and true. And water is so essential for all life and it's easy to see things don't last long without it 

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11

And the day is over for me. But there's still labours to do, including finishing up writing to you here! I hope your day has been good...or if it's morning I hope it will be good in the Lord! It's always a good day to serve Him! 

And here I sit in my little temporary earthly home under the stars writing to you...

And it's a warm evening after a warm day and it's so quiet and I'm listening to lots of frogs down by the lake and earlier there were birds and yes some mosquito noises and insects and distant cattle too. So I'm just being really thankful for some peace. A good blessing from the Lord! 

I was writing to a sister today and sometimes when you get going it's hard to stop but I was talking about sewing and about the humiliating origin of clothing and then I was writing about how we get white robes in heaven and it's very beautiful really. There's so much about it in Revelation so I share them here too for extra encouragement for all my sisters. 

Precious things to look forward to and encourage us to press on with more zeal and love for Him as we don't deserve this hope. Praise God!

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

Amen...walk humbly with our God and in our right submitted and surrendered place before Him. 

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 23:12

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

1 Peter 5:6

We do the humbling and not the exalting and He does the exalting when we do! Interesting. 

Well I must go now sisters. I hope you keep striving on and overcoming all things! So many promises in Revelation for those who do! 

Grace, mercy, love and peace to you...in His name.
