New Every Morning

It’s Sunday evening, the sun has set, and darkness has fallen all around.

Was it a good day for you?
Did you worship?
Did you pray? Did you sing?
Did you help someone move a little closer to loving JESUS?

Well, tomorrow is another day . . . and if we see the light of day, let us seek the LORD early, let us begin again, and walk a little closer in our following JESUS than we did today.

Lamentations 3: 22 Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.

23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.   SOURCE

Driveways

1003b4f3f7b5cf7efb8c1191dca0f0f5Modesty is a big deal to me.  I think about it. I’ve searched The Bible looking for guidance and HOLY SPIRIT has been faithful.

And yesterday just out of the blue words came.
And today? Well, today I am going public with it, at least here with my Friends.

The Bible teaches modesty for the Women of GOD. Biblical References
I don’t pretend to know all the reasons but I gratefully accept Biblical modesty and the following helped me with it. I hope it does you too.

This body I live in was bought back from the devil by The BLOOD of YESHUA HaMASHIACH or JESUS CHRIST if you prefer.
As to modesty, this means when I leave my driveway in a pair of jeans, pants, or capris, my shirt covers my back-side — cause JESUS paid for my modesty.
When I leave my driveway in a dress or skirt — no thighs (or midriff) showing, not even when I bend or stoop or reach — cause JESUS paid for my modesty.
Moving up to cleavage, covered. No public viewing — cause JESUS paid for my modesty.

Mind, Body, and Soul. JESUS came to redeem the whole package.
It matters to HIM what our minds think, what we do with our bodies (even how we clothe them), and how our souls (personalities) process this hostile world.
It matters to HIM and since it matters to HIM, it better matter to me.
You too?

Honestly, I’m hesitant at this point to press Post.
Why? Cause I want people to like me.
But I also want to help my sisters think before they leave their driveways.

Employment

Among the people of the infant church, like it or not, some of them were slaves. They were the property of another. Yet even in that state of subservience, JESUS had set them free in Spirit, even while they remained slaves. And He gave them instructions. Here is one such instruction.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 source

Perhaps today you are not owned by another and JESUS has indeed set you free in Spirit. Perhaps today you are employed; you are an employee and you work for a wage. Here is His instruction to us. We may substitute the word slaves, for employees.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 source

Enjoy your day at work. In HIM you can.
