Hello sisters!
I'm dropping in again on my busy day to share a little edifying and encouragment for your day which is probably busy too! God's daughters are not lazy but I understand we each have different lives and even different strength especially if some are older or unwell so it just depends on if we're doing our best and thankful and content and not idle when there are things we actually could be doing and that need doing. God knows our lives and He is the One we live for no matter what man thinks!
Even nature teaches us to be hard working!
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest .
Proverbs 6:6-8
The other day I heard a loud humming of bees (in a tree that was flowering) before the sun was even up so they're definitely also hard workers! And honey is such an amazing creation also and so much work goes into making it! A great Designer all these creatures have and so do we too!
I hope we are all diligently serving Him in obedience. There's so much in the Word about it so we know it is important.
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Romans 6:17
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:8
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.
2 Thessalonians 3:14
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.
Hebrews 5:9
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
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.
1 Peter 1:22
And even if it doesn't always use the word obey there are words like do and keep and such.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.James 1:22
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.Luke 11:28
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.John 14:23
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.1 John 2:5
So it's just really clear what the Lord requires of us. Let us keep striving to be obedient children of His!
Hold fast in the faith sisters! Grace, mercy, peace and love to you in His name!
