Today's Encouragement (20 June 2023)

 


Hello sisters!

I hope you are looking forward today and not backwards at any number of things back there that can distract. Our hope is ahead and if we have repented of anything we need to and are walking in the light we are cleansed and a precious promise awaits us. 

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2


Pretty clouds today... 


Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
Psalm 147:7-8

Lots to see in His creation especially if we are looking and not rushing past ignoring eveything, too busy with cares of this life. And we like to look because we know He made it and we can give Him glory. 

I loved seeing this clean white cauliflower growing out in the garden with all sorts of dirt around... 
We too can be spotless in a filthy world of sin. 
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Peter 3:14

 

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Timothy 6:14

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2 Corinthians 6:17


I was putting some garlic-infused water on these mite-infested snow pea plants that were suffering greatly...


And of course it reminded me of what we should not be in our faith life. We know of Jesus' parable that spoke of birds eating the seeds that fell by the wayside and thorns choking some and growing on rocky ground. So all sorts of things can hinder our production of good fruit. But we want to be thriving by walking in God's ways and truth don't we sisters! 


I'd serve you a warming stew on a cold winter's night... 

Thankful for food and raiment one more day. 

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

1 Timothy 6:8

 

I was thinking how many distractions there are in this world for people. Absolutely everything for everyone. We know satan (and the flesh) is behind it all because it is not of God because people are distracted away from living for Him with all that they are. The list would be huge and seemingly endless if we started to list all the distractions but we sisters want to be very disciplined even with good things to not let them get out of control or become too big in our lives to the point of obsession. Just one of the daily disciplines we need to have as we always have correcting and flesh killing to do in order to do what's right and best. God and our love/obedience to Him must consume our lives. 


Next scripture reading to edify... 


Thankful for His Word. We love it and want to live by it. 

Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Psalm 119:140


All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:16-17


Well let's keep striving on sisters, working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Hold fast to truth and let us not grow weary or lose our first love or grow lukewarm. Hold fast till He comes! 


Love in Christ,

Greetings sisters! 

This day...we will never get again. The time we have is the Lord's and all we have is really. He created us and this world. Let us be ready to give it all up for Him. 

We have a good example in Job don't we after he lost so much... 

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job 1:20-22

 

Next scripture reading to edify my sisters... 



Kangaroo creations.. 

God made so many unique things. 

Like these perfect pretty flowers a sister shared... 


And we too are His creations made in His likeness and bought with a price. We are not our own! Let us not do our own ways either! 

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 6:20


Hold fast sisters and keep striving on as I will too!

Today's Encouragement (18 June 2023)


Greetings sisters!

Yes here is one more day and I am back too and I'm hoping you each are standing strong in the faith and not wavering! 

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hebrews 10:23


I was thinking that people have faith in all sorts of things. They strongly believe in things we know are not true including a false Jesus and false God. Their 'Jesus' did everything for them to allow them to live their own good life here and now (following their fleshly lusts). They love that 'Jesus'! But we know he doesn't exist and is another idol and we know no idolaters will enter the kingdom of heaven. 

But we sisters believe in the real holy Jesus, the Saviour of the world who is the everlasting Father and who came to set us free from sin! We believe all His Word reveals about Him. That He calls us to believe in Him, obey and love Him, and abide in Him and that He has gone to prepare a place for His own who follow Him. And so much more! 

And we know the consequences of following Him of being misunderstood and hated. 

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2 Timothy 3:12-14

Oh amen we sure do know about the growing deception in these last days. But we want to continue in the truth we have learned through His Word - His eternal truth that is rock solid! 


I'm having a little break from reading scriptures (as I have a cold). But I'm still sharing His Word to encourage my sisters here! 


Thank you sisters for sharing these... 




Good scripture and words of encouragement sisters! My true sisters are so refreshing in a world where most hate the truth of God and mock living holy and try every excuse to twist their way out of obeying Him. But we just press on because we live to please God not man. 


Some encouragement for us in our roles as godly women... 

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Proverbs 31:26-27

We may see much around us in the world and others that we cannot even begin to change. But we sure are responsible for our own actions etc! We can change them with the Lord's help! And we can then not be a hypocrite either when we do have the opportunity to help someone with their fault. And we have the precious truth of the gospel to share and also being ready to give an answer for the hope we have! 

Let's all keep pressing on diligently sisters! Christ is so worthy and eternity is forever and there are only two destinations. 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

Greetings sisters! 

I hope you are well and holding fast in the faith and to sound doctrine! 


And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Hebrews 10:24

That's what we sisters all like to do for one another...we encourage and build up and help and yeah rebuke when we need to and all that is true love. I appreciate my sisters willing hearts to grow and not stay on milk but strong meat of the Word and daily life striving in Christ ready to endure the trials of the faith which will be many. 

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:12-14


Next scripture reading to edify my sisters here... 



I had another busy and fruitful day. 

I like that you can buy slightly odd fruits and veggies that there's nothing wrong with but they aren't perfect enough to sell as usual apparently. 

Good for those of us wanting to be frugal and who aren't fussy. Good foods God made! 

Never seen a fruit like this... 
Says they're called 'durian'. Interesting creation. There's so many different fruits God made! 


Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

John 12:24-26

I love that. 


Well that's all I have today which I hope was edifying! Hold fast sisters! 


Love to you all,

Greetings sisters!

I hope you're holding fast to the Lord today! 

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Psalm 63:7-8

Let's all do that too sisters! 

I'm back again striving to encourage my godly sisters on in the faith! And we all have willing hearts to conform our lives to His ways. As I often say probably, we are so blessed to have His Word to know how we women are to live and all the other general commandments for everyone. We know from the very beginning what God created woman for and how things went after that. And today we still are affected by the effects of the first sin of the first woman and the huge changes that came upon the world because of it. 

One example being this... 

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Timothy 2:12-14 

And we need to submit to that role and be on guard for being deceived. 

We know it's a command for us not to be deceived... 


We know who is the father of lies/deception. And we know who is the truth...Jesus our Saviour! 

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

3 John 1:4

 

Here's the next scripture reading to edify you... 



My days have been busy in Titus 2 houseworks and other good things. Even if each day has much the same in, like cooking and washing dishes, we know it's good works and also good to endure in patiently and do it all as unto the Lord! He is worthy! 


Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Colossians 1:28

I love that and am thankful for faithful godly saints who were diligent to speak and teach the truth and we still have that written word today! 

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

Acts 20:27

We too want to live by all His Word that applies to us today. I'm thankful for it. 


Well I must go but Lord willing I shall be back sharing something for you tomorrow. Strive on sisters as good soldiers!

Greetings sisters! 

How are you today?! I hope you are enduring no matter what is going on in your life or around you. Keep holding fast sisters as good soldiers! And I strive to here as well. 

I'm back again sharing what I have for edification. 

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1 Corinthians 14:12

We can all work to be givers in the ways that we can to build up and encourage each other. 


I have the next scripture reading here for you.... 

Praise God for every part of it He gave us! 


Thank you sisters for sharing these... 




His Word is so good...because He is good! 

That's one of our jobs isn't it...discerning good from evil. 

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:14

We don't want to have it reversed to think good is evil or evil is good as sadly many do in these dark days. Let us go by what God says is good and what He says is evil. 

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Romans 12:9

And let's not be ashamed to call things as they are and cleave to good and abhor and turn away from evil. 

Hold fast to the good way, sisters, following after the Lord our Saviour who made the way for us!

Today's Encouragement (14 June 2023)


Greetings sisters! 

Hopefully you're striving on wherever you are on this big earth! We have our race set before us which we have to endure in...to the very end. So many distractions and snares and temptations along the way that can beset us. Let's set our mind on Him and press right through although we do need to deal with this world and the trials of it but that is our reasonable service to press through it all anyway. 

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Yes patience we need for sure. We can overcome as our Saviour did and saints gone before us! Let us be watchful and soberminded and diligent in it all, striving to walk worthy of Him! 

We can be pleasing to God! So many lie and say all our righteousness are as filthy rags to Him...but they are not. 

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John 3:22


Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:1

 

Let's keep striving to do that which is pleasing in His sight. We are blessed to have His Word to obey because we love Him and believe in Him! 

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:8

Let us walk after the Spirit in all good things and crucify the flesh and it's deeds! 


Just some glimpses of my busy Titus 2 day... 

Simple yet delicious daily food the Lord provided again. I'm thankful. 

And ingredients to cook with... 



Healthy foods to serve others with and keep me going in serving. 



And a lot of work to keep my hands busy... 


I'm sure you know what that picture is sisters! Lol something that we may have a lot of!

Pretty creations to see... 

All good things and not bad or vain time wasting things we once did. Praise God we can now be doing that which is pleasing to Him and not vain or foolish things. 

Next scripture reading to edify you... 


God is good to us in so many ways. How can we not want to humbly serve Him with a very thankful heart. Amen we sisters do want to! Hold fast sisters!

Hello sister soldiers!

I hope we're all strong in the faith today! True faith believes in God and His promises and all He has said even though we don't see Him face to face. We obey as if He were right there telling us what to do though. We obey because we love Him and want to be His faithful servants. We're so blessed to have His written word! He is good to give it to us. 

Next scripture to edify you... 



Sometimes our lives may be very simple but yet that's what we should be doing but just not a lot to share here always I mean! But always something edifying comes to mind and of course His eternal word we can share! 

And our days may be a lot of little things that all add up to a lot. But aren't we meant to be faithful in little? We are! And we can only do what we can do and God knows our hearts and what we may like to do that is good but cannot. He also wants us to be thankful and content with what He gave us. And how much more do we have above food and clothing...a lot! We can be thankful for it all but yet not having our treasures here but above! 
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:21

 

Hold fast sisters and let's all keep testing all things and pressing on to the mark of the high calling in Christ. 


That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Colossians 1:10-11

Greetings sisters! 

Here's one more day and a new post to try my best to encourage my sisters to press on in the faith!

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Hebrews 3:14

That big word...IF! Let's strive to endure stedfast in Christ until the end sisters! 


Next scripture reading to edify... 


Thankful for the truth in this world, specially in this age of so many lies and so much other sin. We are to be obedient servants to God and of righteousness! And we are to walk in newness of life and be dead to sin! 


I love cooking with spices God made... 

Colourful and tasty. 


And I'd serve my sisters a bowl... 

And we'd be thankful for daily bread!

And that's just physical bread but we live by every Word of God and Jesus is the bread of life. We can live by Him and through Him and praise God He intercedes for us with the Father! God has been so merciful to us and whenever we see tragedies in the world of death and suffering...it really just reminds us that God is being merciful to us and everyone else who is alive and having a relatively easy life. We don't deserve what we have but we humbly appreciate it and are thankful to God the giver of every good thing. 

Well I hope you're seeking to love the Lord our God with all that you are and me here too. Hold fast in it all sisters! We can overcome and do all things we need to through Him! Greater is He in us than he in the world. It will be worth it all and He surely is worthy to be glorified by our lives bearing much good fruit!

Greetings sisters! 


God gave us another day to live for Him. Hope your day is going well in that! It's a great blessing to be a godly woman amen sisters?! 


God's word is so packed with His awesome ways by which we are to live isn't it sisters... 

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Romans 12:9-12

We could spend much time pondering those and making sure we have that all in our lives. 


Just some Titus 2 from my day...



I know you sisters are working hard to look after whoever the Lord has in your life...husband, children, family, or others you serve (or just yourself if you are alone.). And even if it is simple quiet work minding our own business it is pleasing to the Lord and He made us to be helpers and we know serving is the greatest in His kingdom. 



Next scripture reading to edify my sisters... 


Thank you sister for these... 

Oh amen I really love that scripture! 

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Psalm 73:25-26



He is worthy to be praised and thanked!

Greetings sisters!


I'm just popping in briefly at the end of an extra busy day! I hope most of all that you are striving on in the faith! Nothing else is worth it. We don't want to gain the whole world and lose our soul. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33


Here's the next scripture reading... 


Let us also have such strong faith in our Lord as Abraham did.


Awesome shiny food blessings... 


Pretty flower creations in the store... 

All God made is so amazing! Sometimes we forget or are just so used to it. We want Him to get all the glory for it. 


Thank you sisters for the scripture pictures... 



Those are great scriptures! And I appreciate my sisters' love.

Hello holy sisters! 

God blessed us with a new day to choose to serve Him! We know we make a lot of choices in a day and we know we have free will and can choose good or evil. I hope we're all choosing God's good ways and striving in them to the best of our ability and through the power He gives us! 

I've had a busy day in Titus 2 works. I'm sure you sisters have too. We love to be godly women, submitting to our God ordained role don't we! This pleases Him and that is what we want to do. We don't want to do things that displease Him and we know we are to fear Him. 

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1 Thessalonians 4:1

 

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

Let us sisters strive to please Him...always. And if we fail we know He is faithful to forgive if we confess our sins and cleanse us if we walk in the light. 


Just sharing a few creations from my day... 






Always good things to see in His creation even in really busy days we can remember our Creator just by seeing what He made around us...and give Him credit and glory for it all!


And here's the next chapter in God's Word to edify you... 

I'm thankful for all of His Word that He has revealed to us. 

I must go but Lord willing I will be back to share tomorrow! I hope you sisters are striving on and we can think about and pray for one another! Let's all keep fighting the good fight of faith! Christ is worthy! 


Love in Him,
