Hello sisters!
I'm back to edify in the Lord and His ways! I hope you're pressing on faithfully where you are!
I'm sharing some good scriptures of God's ways for us to walk in...
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.Galatians 5:13
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:10-12
Serving/ministering surely are to be what we are to be about. It's good to reflect on our lives and how we are going. We are not our own but the Lord's and to be helping others in various ways and in the opportunities we do have.
Christ is our perfect example to look to!
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:25-28
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:2-8
What a great and precious Saviour we have who did all this! He laid down His life, the just for the unjust. How great forgiveness and love is that!
As in many things, there's always deeper ways for us to grow in our understanding and practice of His Word, and this is no exception. We know we must also fight the flesh which wants to do what's easiest and what we feel like. How blessed we are to have His Word as our guide!
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.Psalm 119:105
May we be doers of it and not hearers only. The Lord help us!
Love, mercy, and peace unto you in Christ our Lord.
