EVENING MAY 3
Perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.
Behold, Thou desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect.
Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
II COR. 7:1. II Cor. 7:1. Psa. 51:6. ‑Tit. 2:12. -Matt. 5:16. -Phi. 3:12. I John 3:3. II Cor. 5:5. Eph. 4:12,13.
Gracious Father, please hover over Your saints, to keep them night and day. Bless us in the hearing of the Word, amen.

Good Afternoon!
Thank you for today’s Scriptures.
My sister is coming from ME. for a visit so I will be “playing hostess” for a few days. My posts may be fewer, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers! :-)
You have family up the wazoo! Glad to hear it, & actually it will be quiet from our end this weekend for family, too. Prayers continually.
Well, I am the oldest of six, and my Mom took the Biblical injunction of “Be fruitful and multiply” quite literally! LOL! :-)
lol, but it’s so cool to see you all tight knit
LOL...funny you should use that term.
There is a Pediculosis Clinic in our town called “The Tight Nit Family”.
I’m not kidding.
Amen
Always good to read His Word. Thank you, givemwatts. Bold text worked well!
