Greetings sisters!
In His mercies, God has granted us another day. He is faithful! May we be to Him. He must always be first in our lives.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:5-7
And while 'clothing with humility' simply means being humble, of course it would also include what we wear too. We do not wear things to lift ourselves and our bodies up. That is no doubt pride isn't it. In fact, our long hair as women is also mentioned as being our glory and we cover it so the Lord is glorified, not us.
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.1 Peter 4:10-11
Reminds me of these scriptures too...
That no flesh should glory in his presence.1 Corinthians 1:29
As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Galatians 6:12-15
He must increase, but I must decrease.John 3:30
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.1 Corinthians 10:31
Everything is to be for His glory! May our lives reflect His ways and character for all, including to those who do not read His Word.
Keep pressing on in your duties, sisters, and in the faith through all trials! If we have an easy life that is also something to be careful of too, that we don't get complacent and such. May we keep on guard and keep growing in the knowledge of our Lord and in our faith and obedience.
Love to you in His name. If He wills, I will write again tomorrow.
