Hello sisters!
God gave me another day and the ability to write here again too. I hope you are pressing on whatever is going on in your lives. We have so much hope in the Lord to overcome all things.
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 130:1-8
The Lord is our portion and He is sufficient for us. There can be a lot of depth to grow in of contentment and truly trusting in Him and that He knows best and just simply getting on with the duties in front of us no matter how small they may seem. We are called to be faithful. We know God is displeased with grumbling and complaining and we don't want to have that even in our hearts. In our cultures, we also need to be extra careful, I think, to deny ourselves a lot of things, lest we be caught up in loving this world and the things in it.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:15-17
I think it is one of the greatest dangers in the rich countries that we may live in along with false doctrines in what is known as Christianity. May we be on guard and careful.
We do not want to be dead while we live.
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.1 Timothy 5:5-6
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.Proverbs 30:7-9
We have been warned of riches. We see it happening so often in this world, all sorts of sins stemming from the greed for more money.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1 Timothy 6:9-11
We have so much more to follow after instead, and we want our treasures above and our heart there with the Lord and on our future with Him if we overcome and are not snared down here.
Hold fast to the Lord and His truth, sisters! Mercy, peace, and love unto you in His name.
