Untying the Knots - 1 Thessalonians 5:8

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I had been working on a project a few months ago that required I tie knots in yarn to secure it is place. This morning I had to untie the knots. It took some time but I was able to do it. How about you? Have you had to untie or undo something? It was made for a purpose at the time but no longer needed. Are there times in your lives when what was done for a purpose at one time needed to be undone?

I didn't remember that it needed that much effort to make it but in the undoing it took time.

Verse 1 Thessalonians 5:8 caught my attention; it states, "But since we are of "the day", let us be sober; having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation."

Yes I do believe that we all are "of the day" and when we do have to untie something no longer needed what remains is these simple Truths - be sober, put on the breastplate of faith and love, and most assuredly to be keeping the "mind of Christ", have as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Abba Father, How great thou art. LORD that You alone know our days and our lives so intimately. Lord may each dear and precious sister-in-Christ draw near to thee this day and all the days and may it be their hearts desire to know Thee more and more with each new day. May they depend upon You when they have days of having to untie the knots and may they depend upon You when they need to tie knots. Lord shower them with Your Love and Peace and Joy and Hope. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Blessings,
