Greetings sisters!
I hope you're pressing on steadfastly! I am dropping in again to share some edifying from the Word which we live by. We do not just live on the physical food we cook and eat. Yes that helps us live physically but spiritually we would still die unless we feed on the living bread! God is good to provide this for us! He told us how we can find eternal life through His Son.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 6:47-51
Let us keep His Words and live.
I was pondering on the subject of honesty when I was at a cleaning job yesterday. People are letting you into their homes and they don't know who you are and I am sure they sometimes are a little uncertain going on how the world is today sadly. But they don't need to worry with us His children as His ways teach us to love others, not to covet, mind our own business, and certainly not to steal!
I'm sharing some scriptures which use the word and though it seems to often be simply translated as 'good' it clearly is something we are to be.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.Luke 8:15Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.Romans 12:17Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.2 Corinthians 8:21And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.1 Thessalonians 4:11-12I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 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 2:1-2Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.1 Peter 2:11-12
It is just another area we get to be His witnesses in and be trustworthy 'among the Gentiles'. His ways affect every area of our lives and His ways are good and stand out especially in this corrupt world.
I was pondering this scripture lately and how it's better for people if they never knew the true way than to have known it and walked it and then turn back. But it happens and it is a good warning for us all to take heed lest we fall.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 2:20-22
The punishment will surely be more severe. Let us abide in the way of righteousness after Christ and lay aside every sin and weight that may beset us. We must be vigilant and on guard always, proving all things and abhoring evil and cleaving to the good. The Lord help us hold fast to the truth. Love to you in the faith. Strive on sisters!
