Hopefully you're doing well wherever you are on God's huge earth! We shine as lights wherever we have been called. May we uphold His ways in our own lives and seek to walk blameless in all things with His help.
It is essential and wise to consider this...
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.Romans 11:21-22
Let us continue in His goodness through faith in Christ and seeking to truly do that which is pleasing to Him, keeping His Word. There can be no half-heartedness, no lukewarmness about our following Christ. We know satan is as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and no doubt he preys on the weak. We do not want this to happen either...
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:15-19
Let us be zealous and repent and know we need Him so much. We can only be strong with His help and by feeding on and living by His Word. We must cast off sins and weights that beset us. And if we have opportunity we are to also help those who are weak in the faith too and care for saints in general if we have some in our lives.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Hebrews 3:12-14
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:23-27
We are really blessed to have so much guidance in the Word and we are without excuse. Let us be responsible for our actions and examine them to see if they are in line with the Word of truth and pleasing our holy God.
Keep pressing on in your godly women's duties too sisters, whether that is being a faithful helper to a husband, caring for and raising children, working a job to support yourself, keeping the house in order, serving others, or whatever else the Lord has for you. May we adorn with good works that are necessary and useful and not vain dead works. Let us serve with joy and contentment in all the Lord has given us to do!
Peace, love, and mercy to you in the faith. Farewell. The Lord keep and sustain you! If He wills, I will be back here again tomorrow.
