Greetings sister saints of the most high God!
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.Psalm 30:4
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.Psalm 34:9
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.Psalm 31:23
We really do have so many rich blessings in the Lord and being His children and having a wonderful inheritance laid up until the redemption of the purchased possession. Let us strive on to obtain sisters.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?1 Peter 4:17-18
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.Ephesians 1:11
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.Luke 20:35
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:9
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.Matthew 5:7
Indeed we have a wonderful Saviour...
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.John 1:1,14
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:11-13
That is a precious thing that we can have the power to be God's children!
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:Romans 8:14-16
I hope you're pressing on in all the duties the Lord has for godly women! May we not grow weary in that which the Lord is pleased with for us as women. It is sound doctrine for us to be keepers of the home which no doubt involves all those daily duties that keep a home running! And of course if you have children, that sound doctrine is to love them and that no doubt includes feeding and clothing and teaching and training them up in the Lord!
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:..The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.Titus 2:1,3-5
Let us abide in sound doctrine, being careful to maintain good works for indeed this is the will of God for us.
I was pondering on how peaceable we are called to be. It is clear in the Word that strife and envy and such like are not of the Spirit but of the flesh. And of course there is a place for contending for the true faith once delivered but even in that if people don't have ears to hear then they won't hear and we don't cast our pearls before swine. There's so many good scriptures on it, to teach us the truth of the matter!
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.Matthew 5:9
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.Romans 12:18
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James 3:14-18
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1 Timothy 2:2
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:13
And this one is interesting how even in letting an unbeliever depart from a marriage to a believer it was for peace's sake. It is indeed glorifying to the Lord to live peaceably with our fellow humans.
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.1 Corinthians 7:15
Indeed our God is a God of peace!
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.Hebrews 13:20-21
We find peace with Him first of all through our Saviour the good news to the world!
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;Ephesians 2:13-14
There's so many more scriptures on it but it's good to make sure we have the right biblical view on it and how saints are to live.
I will go now sisters and get my rest after a busy day here again. The cycles of life keep going in the days and months and years. But they are numbered and so are our days. May we use our time with wisdom in all good things unto the Lord. Love to you all in Christ Jesus our Saviour. Hold fast and stand strong in the faith!
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.Ephesians 6:23-24
