Greetings sisters!
Another day of His new mercies this is! He is good!
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.Psalm 40:11
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.Psalm 51:1
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.Psalm 69:16
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.Psalm 119:77
Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.Psalm 119:156
Let us keep hoping in His mercy day by day as we fear and serve Him.
So glad for this woman who was healed but we also see the hearts of the people around...
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Luke 13:10-17
May we truly judge rightly and not make up commandments.
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?Luke 12:56-57
Indeed we want to be careful of what is going on around us to not be deceived. We can look to the Word to see some of the things that will be in these last days. It's not a picture of good in any way. The saints will be few. We have to be so ready to stand so strong to endure to the end.
Just sharing some from my readings today and sometimes things stand out more than other times.
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.John 6:44
Thankful for the Lord's help in coming to Him. We need Him so much! And this is a precious promise to trust in...
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.John 6:37
There can be a lot of things to vex us in this world. The unbelieving world and all the foolishness and darkness of it and other religions too, and also perhaps more vexing are those who take our Saviour's name and live practically like the unbelievers and also those who are like the Pharisees of Jesus day, full of hypocrisy and seemingly acting as they did as well, including condemning the innocent and such like. We can only hope and pray all the true saints of God strive on with courage and bravery in these perilous times. We really must focus on our own walk. Not much time to sit and focus on the world and all the bad things, we must keep marching on ourselves sisters lest we also be swallowed up in some kind of sin, be it lukewarmness or bitterness or fleshly ways to make ourselves feel better. May we trust in our Rock, sisters and more and more follow hard after Him who is the only truth. Truth is absolutely done away with in this world for the most part as people believe a lie and don't feel any guilt for acting in falsehoods. May we look for His appearing and pray His kingdom come soon. May we focus on being ready ourselves lest we be left outside the gates with the unbelievers and those taking His name yet bearing rotten fruit.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:20-25
This life is indeed very serious. May we do the will of God. We will stand strong like a house built upon a rock if we do!
Another year is coming to a close and no doubt as we think about time it is an extra good time to ponder on eternity. Are we ready? Will we endure faithful to the Lord and hold fast and grow in this next year? I hope and pray so for all my sisters (and brothers) all over the world few though they may be. All souls are precious but we know only the holy ones will be saved. May we cleave to the Lord with purpose of heart and also know we must through much tribulation enter the kingdom. Marvel not my sisters if there are hard times in this faith walk. We have been told it will be so! Just hold on and keep standing and have your armour up! But it is also a most glorious life as we have such a good Saviour and God and much He has prepared for those who love Him! Rejoice in hope sisters and may we not let satan get an advantage of us and steal our peace and joy and bring condemnation.
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 3:18-24
Hold fast sisters and keep striving for the kingdom! My love be with you, mercy and peace.
