Greetings sisters!
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:2-5
That's a wonderful scripture with precious promises.
I was just thinking lately too how if we may be feeling down or overwhelmed or exhausted or whatever as there are many things in life that can make us feel that way sometimes, we really need to refocus on the Lord and that truly should set us straight. Easier said than done sometimes (especially if we are physically not feeling well), because the trials of this life can be great and it is also good to be sober minded and also there is a time to be grieved and sad but in general in everyday life it really helps to quickly change our thinking to His wonderful goodness and rejoice and be thankful! Because in the Lord we can rejoice though in this world we will have tribulation as our Lord told us. If we're feeling tired and draggy on a busy day may we ponder the strength of the Lord and His admonition to not grow weary in any good thing. We can ponder the precious promises ahead for those who overcome. There's just so many good things...in the Lord, that we can continue to be of good courage and press on in our days. Jesus came into this groaning world to serve us and loved us so much that He died a horrible death that we may be delivered. There's just so much to be grateful for! Let us look to Him and not on the 'storms' of this life! Let us be like the one healed leper, who serves Him with a thankful heart for all He did for us.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.2 Corinthians 4:16
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.2 Corinthians 12:9-10
So keep pressing on day by day sisters! We have so much consolation in Christ! Hold fast and be of good cheer if you are striving on faithfully. Love, peace and mercy to you.
