Hello again sisters!
Another day of His mercies is here and I am here too to edify in the Lord. I hope you are doing well in your corner of the earth. The Lord sees all His children and is a good Father to us. May we be strong in faith and not fearful and faithless.
I was thinking how people today are even more without excuse as we all have ready access to the Word of God via technology. That is one great blessing of it despite its many downsides. And of course no one needs anything other than the Word to come to the knowledge of the truth. You don't need me or any other saint to explain the way of salvation when God said it all in His Word. But no doubt we can talk about His Word and God can use people for His purposes to share His way of salvation in Christ. Sometimes I ponder this scripture too...
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.2 Corinthians 3:2-3
And it makes me think how we get to actually live out in practice that which is written of His commands. They are not just written in words but being shown in how we live. We do and not just hear. And of course people see that. It also reminds me of this scripture about the men beholding their wives holy lives and being won.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1 Peter 3:1-6
And we know many are not reading the Word of God today. And we know we are to be His witnesses, representing His ways of holiness. It is a high calling and one we should take seriously. We do not want to take His name in vain and do things that are contrary to His doctrines and thus blaspheme Him. It's really sad how the way of truth is being evil spoken of by those who do things extremely contrary to scripture, and then the unknowing world is confused and turned away by such repulsive actions by those naming His name. But may we adorn the doctrine of God by acting in His ways of love, mercy, compassion, patience, truth, holiness, and everything else.
Praise God for our Saviour, Jesus Christ and Him crucified and raised again for our salvation! Let us continue in our faith in Him and depart from iniquity. The Lord help us! How glad we are to have His Word to guide us through this life. Keep striving for the heavenly kingdom, sisters!
Love unto you in His name.
