Hello again sisters!
I'm back again! God let me be and there's so many things not to take forgranted. It's another day to press forwards in the truth!
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.Psalm 63:8
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.Isaiah 50:7
Remember, Jesus said blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed! Indeed we live as if we have seen Him. That is our faith! And it manifests in our life and what we do! Only a dead faith will not do anything or look like anything. Our faith is shown in our actions isn't it sisters! May they be consistent with faith in the one true and living God!
Sharing a few things from my days. I'm sure each of you also have many things going on even if much is the same every single day! Don't grow weary in any good thing, sisters!
Hopeful for a bountiful zucchini harvest soon! I'm sure you know how fruitful they can be! Just mainly doing a lot of watering is what sums up what I've been doing in the garden and orchard.
And thankful to have most of the fruiting trees netted! I guess there's a lot of other hungry creatures who think they're good food too but we take dominion don't we. I'm sure the birds will find other food just fine!
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?Matthew 6:26
It's really on the verge of being a too hot climate to grow apples here. They often get sunburned but so far there's a heap on that tree! Good fruit blessings God created! Hopefully some make it.
Sun ripening apricots...
Another reptile creation...
He's all puffed up trying to make himself look bigger than he really is.
I saw these two small doves out the window.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.Luke 2:22-24
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.Leviticus 16:21-22
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.Leviticus 4:24
Peaceful and pretty butterfly creation...
Peaceful evening farm scene. (Well after the calf was back where it was supposed to be it was peaceful at least!)
This makes me smile and be thankful...
When a fabric you frequently buy is half price and you have a $40 off coupon if you spend $120 and get free shipping over $120...there's a lot of blessings in there! You just got to buy a lot when it's like that and I did! 20 metres of fabric in fact. It's how I can keep my sewn items reasonably priced as fabric isn't cheap usually and Etsy takes a chunk too so it's just a blessing. But it doesn't always happen that it's that good so it's just an extra blessing.
I got four shirts cut out to take to sew at the children's when I go on the bus tomorrow...Lord willing. Not sure how much I'll get done but it was great to fill any cracks of time I had there last time. Thankful to redeem the time even more and have things to keep occupied in. If you just keep going bit by bit at something you do finish eventually too!
And it's satisfying bringing order out of what looks like chaos! I'm really thankful to have a biblical clothing shop. God is good to let me be able to.
Next two chapters of Ecclesiastes to edify you here...
As it often speaks of in there...the vanity of things. So thankful to not be labouring in vain in the Lord!
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.Matthew 4:11
I love thinking about that. After Jesus had been sorely tempted by the enemy for forty days...the angels came and helped Him. That is encouraging I think even for us knowing God cares about us. And in this life we will have various trials and temptations and some may be more intense than others but we can think of our Lord Himself who was also tempted...yet without sin! We have been told it is a blessing to endure them.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.James 1:12
So may we hold fast to the Lord and truth through the fiery darts of the wicked which we resist with the shield of faith!
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.Jeremiah 17:14
Just sharing that scripture because it's good!
May we continue in all good works that the Lord has for us! It's good to ponder all the different duties the Lord has given us and make sure we are doing our best in them all!
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.Hebrews 10:24
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.Titus 2:14
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.2 Timothy 3:17
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen .
Hebrews 13:20-21
Keep pressing on sisters, as good soldiers of Jesus Christ and not becoming entangled with the affairs of this life. Oh yes we have many things we need to do and for one example we have been commanded to obey the laws of the land and we have to have dealings and interactions with the world. But we do not unnecessarily become involved with this world. It is a snare if we do. Our life and citizenship is in heaven. So let us be wise and strive to best redeem the time the Lord has given to us. Our redemption draws nearer sisters! Be ready!
