Greetings sisters!
It is another good day to serve our Lord! I hope you are all pressing on in the faith after Him diligently!
I'm keeping occupied here and that is a great blessing in itself and I'm blessed to have quite a variety of things to do! I'm thankful for it all. And we can only do as much as we can and keep examining our lives and making sure we aren't lacking in an area and such. But compared to God we're so puny and limited so that keeps us humble before Him. May we look to Him for our help!
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.Psalm 124:8
It is good to ponder on the Word 'Saviour'! We know this is Jesus Christ the Son of the Father who came into the world! I'm sharing some verses on Him.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.Luke 2:11
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.John 4:42
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey Him.Acts 5:31-32
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:Philippians 3:20
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.2 Peter 3:18
There's many more of course but we are surely so thankful for a Saviour from our sins and from God's wrath! Let us abide in His protection and love by following and obeying Him in faith!
I was listening to scripture as I was sewing and this one stood out...
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.1 Timothy 5:8
Yes...our works do say a lot and that's quite a statement. Wonder how the faith alone people explain that away? Truth is our actions do matter.
This also stood out to me how brother Paul was praising another brother for his faith and good works...
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Philemon 1:4-7
Indeed we can encourage other sisters by acknowledging when they are doing well and encourage them on in it! Of course there is a place for warning and rebuking of course keeping our place as women but it needs to be balanced with encouragement for those who truly are striving and love the Lord. Here's another similar scripture...
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.1 Corinthians 11:2
And this following later of what he was correcting them in...
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
1 Corinthians 11:17, 22
Reminds me of this scripture too...
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.Proverbs 27:2
May we live by His Word and also imitate the good examples!
I sometimes ponder how it's good to just share simple good pure and true things here. I'm content with that and with sharing what I can. We each have a variety of duties and need to figure out what's most important don't we and spread ourselves out over it all! I find it important to focus on the sisters I do have in my life and be faithful with what the Lord has given me there! And it's a blessing to share here too for all so Lord willing I do each day!
Keep fighting the good fight of faith sisters! Endure any hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ! My love to you in His name.
