Hello sisters in the Lord!
I'm back one more day to share some edifying in the truth!
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
3 John 1:2-5
It is a blessing to have His Word of truth to live by and of course we keep feeding on it to find out His truth!
Yes we are to obey the laws of the land we live in...if they don't cause us to sin.
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1 Peter 2:13-16
And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
Mark 12:14-17
But we know the pride of whatever land we live in (ie being patriotic) has no place in us. God alone is to be glorified in all things and not a nation. And it is He that has us where He does to be His lights. We are seeking His kingdom above and our true citizenship is in heaven. And there's so much corruption in the world and every nation, it's nothing to be pleased about. We should be thankful to God for the blessings that come from Him. One day our Lord will be in His rightful place...
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isaiah 2:17-19
The famous and the rich and popular people of the earth will be brought down one day and all shall have to stand to face judgement.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 6:15-17
Indeed the Lord alone will be exalted forever one day and all His saints shall glorify Him!
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation 5:11-14
So may we be preparing sisters, ready and watching. So precious is the truth and the Lord's ways and so weighty is the fact of eternal judgement or eternal joy with the Lord that we must be serious about it all and diligent in finding eternal life through our Lord.
I had travels back from the children's again today. So there will be different things again to keep occupied in for however long. I hope my sisters are doing well and pressing on faithfully in all your duties! There's a lot to set our mind right to do. Strive on! Love to you.
