Greetings sister saints!
Another day is here for me to share in the Lord! I hope you're doing well and pressing on in hope and courage.
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Colossians 1:2-6
Indeed we have been called to be saints...which means holy. Just something that is good to understand when we see the word saint. So I am writing to holy women, my sisters in Christ, made righteous by Christ and by abiding in Him, keeping His Word.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Ephesians 1:4
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Peter 3:11-14
Yes let us keep preparing for the time when this earth will be no more. We do not want to lay up treasures here for then our heart will be down here. And we know the Lord has given us blessings and He can take them away and we do not want our faith shaken. We would want to be strong like Job when he lost it all. May our Lord always be sufficient for us. And while we can take good care of what He has given us, we can hold it all loosely. And sometimes I think of Jesus' teachings for example about letting people take your stuff and not being concerned about it or asking it back. You can only do that if the Lord is sufficient for you and you know He will provide what we need.
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 5:39-42
Yes may we be ready to be able to obey our Lord promptly if these situations arise. And may He give us wisdom and strength and help us to lay up treasures in heaven.
Keep pressing on in your labours sisters! I'm sure a lot of Titus 2 keeper of the home works are going on in your lives too. May we keep being diligent and content and thankful and all things we are to be. Lord willing I will write again tomorrow. Love to you in His name.
