Encouragement for Today (4/24/24)

Greetings sister saints.
Let us lift up the Lord in our days, praising Him for all He has done!

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 
Romans 15:9-11 

I read this yesterday...

Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 
​Psalm 131:1 

I want to always examine myself so I can say that and I want that for you too. Haughty is similar to proud.... 

The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 
Psalm 12:3 


Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 
Psalm 138:6 


An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 
Proverbs 21:4 


For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 
​Isaiah 2:12 

....of which we don't want to be.  Go do a word search on proud and pride and see what God thinks of that.  We can, however, be strong and bold on the word of God, standing with confidence in what we see in the scriptures and not wavering.  Dying for what we believe....

Christ is the truth which we would die for.
He's the word which we would die for.
​
How can we not stand boldly and confidently on His truth and yes, people will think you're proud because of it but they don't have discernment to understand the things of God. 

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 

Those born of the Spirit (see the gospel HERE) can discern the truth of God's word and rightly divide it, live it and preach it.

As I type this, I'm sitting on a picnic table, with a pretty view and birds singing....at a campground.  $5 for a quiet, peaceful evening.  Here's a glimpse, we'll have a post soon.

We're headed toward some bigger cities for the weekend and had some ideas for preaches but it looks like it might be rain from Friday through Sunday with thunderstorms within....so let's see what happens.  The Lord knows and we'll keep doing what we do each day for Him just as I know you all will, in the lives He has for you.  

For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 
​1 Corinthians 12:14-18 

Let us rejoice in the calling the Lord has for us, redeeming our days for Him. 

I hope you have a joyous evening sisters. 
The Lord be magnified in our lives as we live for Him.

Hold Fast!
Endure!
Stand!
Rejoice!

Love to you all,
