Greetings sisters!
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.Psalm 97:12
I hope you are doing well wherever you are! We have a great and holy God to rejoice in! May we worship Him in the beauty of holiness!
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.Psalm 96:9
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.Psalm 29:2
May we be set apart unto our God who is perfectly holy, striving to walk in all His good ways He has ordained and kindly shown us. May we search His Word to find those good ways and to be refreshed in the truth while in this world.
I was reading and pondering some of the awesome things the Lord did for the Israelites.
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.Joshua 4:10
Trying to picture that...the priests bearing the ark standing in the midst of what is usually a full river until the people were passed over.
And it is amazing all the miraculous ways He had shown them over time.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.Exodus 14:21-22
Sadly they still rebelled against Him despite it all but it's good to remember all these things for God's glory! But we know nothing is impossible!
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Deuteronomy 4:32-40
And this is the same God of course that we are most blessed to serve today! And He has revealed such a mystery, hidden from the beginning, to us in His Son Jesus who died for us!
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:Ephesians 3:9
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Colossians 1:25-26
And He told us all He wanted to in what is to come!
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:1-3
May we continue to seek out the truth sisters!
Pretty morning here of His new mercies...
And I had a quieter day so had more time to share with you here and read His Word which is good too! But there's times and seasons for all good things isn't there but we still have to make so many choices each day of how we spend our time.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:15-17
God gave such a beautiful spring day here today! Lots of sunshine after a cloudy period which had some rain blessings though!
I get blessed with a beautiful flower view while hanging up laundry! And yes I know I share a lot of those flowers lately but they just keep getting better! And on a pretty blue sky day it can't get any better! I'm sure my sisters don't mind and of course it should point us to the Creator behind it all!
Just growing in a crack in the pavers.
So delicate and intricately designed, colourful and soft.
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.Psalm 115:1
And the evening made things look nicer again in a different way! So I had to share more!
Good, pure, and true blessings to behold in this world which has troubles and trials and evils in it.
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.Psalm 101:3
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.Philippians 4:8
I saw some things that got me thinking how these days it's becoming harder to tell whether pictures, like ones found online, are true or fake ones. And people even say they're true when they're clearly not...there's many who think nothing of lying. Perilous times in various ways but we sisters treasure the truth! Keep walking in the light and truth sisters!
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.3 John 1:4
So I think that's all from me today. Hopefully it was edifying and refreshing for you and gives you some good cheer! (Many times I'm writing and posting these in a noisy, distracting environment so hopefully they make sense and forgive me if they don't and of course let me know if there's any errors that need fixing...thank you!)
After I had posted this I got to see the stars and even photograph some southern lights or aurora Australis. It wasn't very bright but still awesome creations for His glory either way!
This was looking south...
The aurora, as it's well after sunset and the phone camera is on a 32 second exposure to capture it.
And this was looking north...
Part of the beautiful milky way galaxy.
Indeed the heavens declare His glory into all the earth and there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard!Ok I am going now! Strive on sisters! Our redemption draws nearer! Our God is great and greatly to be praised and served!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
