Greetings again sisters!
May our Lord be magnified today and forever! He alone is worthy and one day He alone will be exalted!
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.Isaiah 2:17
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.Psalm 34:3
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.Exodus 15:2
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.2 Samuel 22:47
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.1 Chronicles 29:11
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.Psalm 21:13
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.Psalm 46:10
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.Psalm 97:9
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.Psalm 99:5
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.Psalm 118:28
Amen He is worthy! Let us focus on Him and the trials of this life fade in comparison. In fact...
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.Romans 8:18
How merciful and gracious is He to even think to allow humans to be with Him? And yet He has joy in it too. How precious it is and let us strive to walk worthy and holy before Him.
I was pondering on the marriage supper of the Lamb. We know the bride is all His saints as a whole. All of them are preparing as a faithful bride, a chaste virgin, to be ready to be with the bridegroom for all eternity! We know He has loved us greatly by dying for us for no greater love is there than one lay down his life for His friends. We are His friends if we do whatsoever He commands us. Just as a faithful wife will obediently submit to her husband so do we as His bride. So we do have a charge to keep ourselves from that which is spiritual unfaithfulness. Just as physically there sadly is a lot of unfaithfulness and sin in people not being faithful to their spouses and even while not married they are sinning in various ways so we too must spiritually keep ourselves from being unfaithful to our bridegroom. It's just really good to keep this in remembrance as it is a good picture of how things are. We keep ourselves from sin, the world, idols and false religion, false doctrines and such like.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Matthew 5:8
I heard this scripture the other day and it's a good reminder of the truth for those who obey Him. They are blessed according to Jesus!
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.Luke 11:27-28
Let us keep it sisters!
I was also pondering on how Jesus was long-suffering with His disciples as well. We see Peter rebuking Jesus after He told them about His death and that that would not happen unto Him. I find it interesting that Jesus said this was an offense (stumblingblock) unto Him in saying that. And we see Peter (and them all) promising to never deny Him and to go with Him unto death. We see Peter and the other disciples not being able to watch with Him even one hour in His great agony. We see them all fleeing and forsaking Him and Peter denying Him three times. As Jesus said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. But indeed we see the great boldness of the disciples after the Spirit had come when they were to be spreading this good news of His death and ressurection! But truly our Lord was long suffering and He still is today. We must keep fighting the flesh and walking in the Spirit.
So press on my sisters! It will be worth it all. My love to you in Christ.
