Greetings sisters!
God gave me another day to be back here sharing edifying. I hope you're all doing well wherever you are on this huge earth God made and placed us on! It's all for His glory isn't it sisters!
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.Psalm 85:7-8
His mercy and salvation are precious.
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.Psalm 13:5
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.Psalm 85:7
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 1:77-79
Praise God for this!
Catching up on a few pictures and things from my days. They've been pretty busy in Titus 2 things. And I'm sure you sisters are keeping occupied in whatever the Lord does have for you in your individual lives!
Made sourdough pizzas...
Tuna cakes and a big batch of pancakes...
Good blessings the Lord provides day by day.
Got two shirts sewn so that's good too!
This is a tiny bee swarm in a tree...
They're usually much bigger than that so not sure what they're doing. One of God's amazing creatures that make something delicious in honey.
Was hundreds of sheep coming in to the watering trough...
Just my view while hanging out clothes to dry:)
Has been some pretty sunsets....
Peaceful, and good and pure in a dark world.
Got to watch a storm rolling in one night...
Just a very tiny glimpse of the power of our great God!
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.Psalm 93:4
The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.Psalm 77:18
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Psalm 94:1-4
Yes sometimes we may wonder the same things in these perilous times. We are waiting to be with Him but He has us here for now...for a reason! We have to patiently endure and have our faith tested. I pray we all stay faithful unto death sisters.
I had bus travel today. I'm thankful for safe travels too. Generally flat countryside to travel through but the hills always add some interest.
Sometimes when you're out in the world you see sad things. But just because we don't always see things doesn't mean they're not happening all over the world...and far worse than we can imagine. We sisters may most likely live quiet and peaceable lives so it's not in the front of our minds. But the world is filled with so much sin and the effects of it we know. But the Lord is on the way. May we sisters be ready and keep standing in the midst of it as salt and light faithful to our Lord.
I was pondering how different life is today from the simple life and living people once had.
So this is a real warning...
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.Mark 4:18-19
We can't help that we live in this age of so many lusts of the flesh and of the eyes and the pride of life and such but we just have to be careful.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;1 Peter 2:11
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.1 John 2:16
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.Romans 13:14
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.Galatians 5:16
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.Galatians 5:24
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;Titus 2:12
Amen our Saviour and His grace teaches us a better way!
We live in a complex, cluttered, chaotic, and crazy world really even if we don't see it all, it can be confusing but it just makes us long to be with our Lord doesn't it!
You can think of the simple food Jesus fed the multitudes of bread and fish.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Matthew 14:19-20
And today you have gigantic grocery stores packed with every type and flavor of food imaginable. It's just such a different world in so many ways. We can be thankful for many blessings from the Lord in all good things but we want to be in control of how we relate to it all don't we. We don't want to be mastered by anything other than our Lord and Master!
Well I had better go now sisters. Lord willing I will be back tomorrow to share edifying with you too! May we keep striving on with our affections set on things above! And hold fast to sound doctrine and the truth in Jesus. Love to you all in the faith!
