compassion

Psalms 145:8-10
"8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works.
10 All Thy works shall praise Thee, O LORD; and Thy saints shall bless Thee."

As we study Women of Faith in the Holy Bible we begin to understand that it is the unsung heroes that maintain the FAITH. Staying late and coming early to keep things running smoothly. They may be women or men. They provide a great benefit, and they do very good work. They simply and humbly do what they do for the GLORY of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

GOD'S ways are often the opposite of man's ways. GOD'S plan is NOT for equality. Some are first and some are last. This ranking is NOT based on the duration of service, nor even on the amount of work done, but on the TEMPER and CHARACTER of the worker. With GOD it is always a heart issue. GOD sees our motivation and thoughts. GOD calls us to be better for our friends and family. GOD calls us to do His work in our world. Everyone is called to this higher purpose "but FEW CHOSEN."

When we undertake our calling we can take comfort in the words from today's verses; "The LORD is GRACIOUS, and full of COMPASSION; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is GOOD to all: and His tender MERCIES are over all His works. All Thy works shall praise Thee, O LORD; and Thy saints shall bless Thee." When we live in FAITH according to GOD'S plan we benefit from HIS GRACE, COMPASSION & GOODNESS. Our work and our words should always praise the Lord! Just like the wonderful women of faith we continue to study...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
