Greetings sisters!
Hope you're holding on faithfully wherever you are!
I was reading this scripture and it's good to ponder how the Lord wants us to be.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
1 Corinthians 3:18-20
It's just good to know we can lead a simple life in this world, physically. And we want to be truly wise by fearing God and having His knowledge of salvation and ways.
It reminds me too how God's children are to be humble, meek, gentle, pure, self-controlled, and many such things including having quiet spirits for us as His daughters which is of great price to God.
We do know Christ's death is foolishness to the world but to us it is our only hope and joy! Faith is not something that the world can really understand as they want to see and feel. We must come to the Lord and His kingdom like a child.
I am reminded of this section of the Word...
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:23-26
There is much in this world that blinds people's hearts. It is what the flesh wants, to be satisfied immediately. But we are living for the next life which will be immeasurably and incomparably better and we deny ourselves things here of that which isn't pleasing to the Lord. So let us keep on for our Lord, being content with food and raiment and living thankful lives for all His extra blessings and goodness.
Love, peace, and mercy unto you. Strive on sisters!
