Greetings sister saints!
I'm back again! I hope you're also pressing on in the faith one more day! My day was a busier one again but there's always something from His Word to share!
I love this scripture...
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 4:11
Reminds me of this one too...
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.Romans 12:3
And this one...
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
1 Corinthians 4:6-7
Indeed we have nothing to glory in! And all our obedience is just bringing our lives into line with His ways not ours so it's all for His glory when we walk in them! It's all our reasonable service and duty to obey Him. We are not doing anything more than we should be! We have not attained but we press towards that mark and strive to be perfected.
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isaiah 59:1-2
That is a good chapter to read because it talks a lot about truth and judgement being lacking and I was thinking how Paul wrote that the least esteemed saints in the body are to be set to judge amongst the believers. It's just a basic function we are to perform. We know God is a God of judgement and of course we leave all final judgment to Him, we know we must make many judgments in this faith life! Indeed we prove all things!
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.Psalm 89:14
And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.Jeremiah 4:2
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.Jeremiah 5:1
Always many things to look into and ponder on in His Word! We are very blessed to have it!
Pretty and peaceful creations from my day. To God be the glory as we don't deserve one good thing in life. He is good and worthy!
I close with these precious words which are better than mine...
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:20-25
Amen.
Peace to you in Christ,
Sister Chayil
