I am back to share some encouragement and edification for you, my sisters in His family! I hope you're pressing forwards in His hope and joy today! Our God is good!
Sharing some psalm encouragement...
The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:Psalm 146:8
The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.
Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Psalm 145:14-21
He is good! May we stay close to Him.
I was thinking how it can seem suspenseful at times as we know this is coming...
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.2 Peter 3:7
It's really serious this life but we cannot force anyone to believe and obey Jesus. Sure we can share the gospel and truth but other than that we must press on ourselves and know the Lord has all things in His hands.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Peter 3:11-14
Yes sisters let us be diligent.
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Hebrews 2:1-3
Was pondering God honoring us as it's humbling as we don't deserve it...
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
John 12:25-26
And also how we are going to be glorified.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8:17-18, 30
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed.
1 Peter 5:1
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1 Peter 5:4
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:1 Corinthians 15:43
It surely is humbling but we know we can please Him and He loves His children so much. Surely He is good and so much is prepared for those who love Him! We do not deserve it and we do not lift ourselves up but He does and can!
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Luke 18:14
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:1 Peter 5:6
May we keep our lowly, meek, humble, submitted place, fearing Him. And may He receive all the glory! Our obedience and good fruit bearing does bring Him glory!
Keep pressing on with diligence my sisters! It will be worth everything. We do not want to gain the world and lose our soul. The time is short may we continue stedfast in the faith!
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.1 Corinthians 16:24
