Greetings sister saints!
Another day is here to serve our Lord! I hope you're doing well wherever you are on the earth!
It's good to know and ponder the demeanor we are to have...
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter 1:13-15
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:1 Peter 5:8
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.1 Thessalonians 5:6
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy 3:11
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.Titus 2:4But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.Acts 26:25
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.Titus 2:12
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.1 Peter 4:7
We have so much good instruction that He gave us and we are very blessed to have it! So may we not just hear but be doers of His Word!
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Acts 28:2
That's interesting to ponder. I sometimes think how even today there's still worldly people who show kindness to others. And of course it doesn't mean they're good with God but it's still good that they be kind and hospitable. Just makes me think that things will get worse on this earth. Yes there is much wickedness and deception but yet some still have a bit of decency in them.
And I think about that as I go to my cleaning jobs and sometimes the women are so very gracious and caring and sometimes just average but it's still interesting. And I often wonder what they're thinking when they see me for the first time as I'm sure they don't often or maybe have never seen biblically dressed people. But it's just part of our witness and then everything else we do and say also is part of our witness, and also how we work. We are His lights wherever we go. We have a high calling to live up to.
We know there is some differences how we relate to saints than to the unbelievers (those without) as the Lord told us this.
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.Galatians 6:10
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:17-18
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Philippians 4:5
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you.
1 Thessalonians 3:12
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.
2 Timothy 2:24
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1 Peter 2:17
There are duties we have towards all people. These are commands. But we also live by all of His word and there are other specific commands like this...
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.2 John 1:10-11
And we know we have also been told how to relate to disobedient believers...
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
So let us keep striving to obey the Word in all areas and may He help us!
Keep pressing on in your godly women's duties sisters! May we run our race with patient endurance and prepare to keep going to the very very end. The Lord help us through all the things that could come between now and then. May we be victorious through Him that loved us! Hold fast sisters and my love be with you.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57
To Him be all the glory and praise!
