Greetings sister saints!
To God be the glory for this day and all the blessings in it! Sometimes the more challenging parts of our days and life can take up a lot of thought but we must keep our minds also on the Lord and all His goodness! That will keep everything in perspective too. We came into this world with nothing and we can take nothing out of it, but our soul is what we are to take care of. We must all prepare to be judged by a holy God.
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 14:7
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:Hebrews 9:27
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.2 Corinthians 5:9-10
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?Romans 2:2-3
Let us press on to be found ready on that great day. Praise God our past sins are forgiven in Christ when we repented, but now let us keep on guard for any sin and repent when we need to. May our works be good because we are simply seeking to obey and please our Lord. They are His ways we strive for. He gets all the glory of course! He is so good and His ways are also!
I was thinking how so many people, including people who call themselves Christian, are so dogmatic that they are the right ones and what they believe is the truth. Everyone cannot be right! There is one truth from the Lord, the Creator of all things. And that's what I am seeking to understand and walk in. Of course I have been wrong on things in the past and I understand that I still could and would be on some things. Otherwise we would be completely perfect with no need for continued learning or seeking after His truth. So it just reminds me to stay humble, study the Word, and examine my own life and be careful of speaking on things that I really don't know for sure. May His Word speak for itself. It doesn't need us to explain it. His Word stands and always will no matter how much false teaching and also false translations are coming from it. We know our adversary used the Word to tempt Jesus. And we know he questioned Eve in the garden with casting doubt on what God had said.
I heard this scripture the other day and you really need to let people go in your mind too because you can't do anything to change them.
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.Matthew 15:12-14
But we can pray for people for that is the Lord's will and that all will come to the knowledge of the truth. Let us keep on guard ourselves and also be ready to give an answer of the hope we have, with meekness and fear. It is a blessing if the Lord allows us to help someone to understand the truth but it's not very often that people seek it sadly.
Let us seek to walk worthy of Him ourselves and keep ourselves unspotted from the world. We need to be aware of not getting stumbled by the cares and things of this life. The Lord help us.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.Luke 8:14-15
Love, mercy, and peace to you in the faith of Jesus.
