Hello sisters!
Time for some more simple edifying from the pure Word of truth! So thankful for that in this world where falsehoods and impurity is widely accepted. He is our Rock and so is His Word and we can build upon it and we won't get swept away!
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:13-14
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.2 Timothy 2:15
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.James 1:18
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.Psalm 119:43
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.Proverbs 30:5
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.Psalm 119:140
Amen!
I hope all you sisters are set in your hearts and minds to keep pressing on for the Lord another year! But we can only take things one day at a time or even really the second that's in front of us right now. They all add up to a day and those all add up to a year...and then a lifetime, so really each second does count. Are we being faithful with each one sisters? There is so much to examine and test in our lives against the written word of truth of which we live by every word. We cannot compare ourselves to others, to the world or to other believers, it must be to the pure Word of truth!
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.2 Thessalonians 3:14-15
We know there is a place for separation from people. That is clear in the Word. It is to obey the Lord and never because we don't like someone or such fleshly ways. It is because of their sin. It is to shame them not discourage or condemn as if they truly love the Lord they will be ashamed and repent. But if not then the separation must remain and God will deal with them. I sometimes ponder this scripture too...
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
2 Corinthians 2:6-8
We know there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repents! And we know the Lord loves His children and so we too are to love and comfort each other in the Lord when we are all walking in the truth. And this is one of the truths to walk in!
We know love is the bond of perfectness so let us excel in godly love!
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.Colossians 3:14
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.1 Peter 4:8
So that's my simple edifying for today! Still going here with garden work and sewing mostly with the occasional cleaning job too and other Titus 2 works day by day. Keep going in your duties with contentment and thankfulness sisters! Those subjects are huge and big ones to keep working on in our lives to live simply and peacefully unto our God as He sees. Grace, mercy, and peace to you in godly love! Be strong and courageous in the faith my sisters! And stand!
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:10-13
