Lydia!!!

I LOVE the list!! I had to copy it and send it to Devon at school last year. Just in case she forgot who she is. :)

And the video!! WOW!! Thank you; I love it , too!!! I will make sure Ryan sees it! Who is it, BTW?

lydia said...

Yeah me too! I had been wanting to compile a bunch of Scripture altogether like that for some time, and was so glad to find it already done for me in "Lifetime Guarantee."

I think that song has been in my head since someone brought it up somewhere on someone's blog...??? and I honestly don't know who performed in the video, I just liked it the best!!!

yes you are and so am I. Just one small correction, galatians 4:7 says we are sons of God, not daughters. Though you may think it's a little thing, I myself feel it's a huge thing that God sees me not as his daughter (look at Hebrew culture or just about any other culture at the time) but as his first or oldest son, the important one haha. Many many times I will be treated as just a woman here on this earth, but God treats me as his beloved son and heir. Maybe it's my rebellious nature but I love that I am as much a son as any arrogant chauvenistic pig in a pulpit somewhere (or elsewhere hehe). Though of course there are times we are called children of God, so from that we can infer that we may as women consider ourselves daughters as well...though I don't know if the female believers were ever referred to as sisters, now I have to see.

lydia said...

Ha ha, yes it does say sons, I just changed it.......I like your clarification, very good point - I just like being a daughter of God, let along a child or first son - but isn't the first son the heir, God calls us that too!!
There is a verse in the New Testament that shows all believers are equal, but I can't find it.........anyway, to God you rate and rank just like any man, it's true!! We all are in Christ, and God shows no partiality!! He is no respecter of persons we are all accepted in the Beloved!!

WHAT a post! You could feed off of these Scriptures for the rest of your life, couldn't you? ANd NEVER, ever go "hungry" again.

thanks for the birthday wishes, dear one. You are a doll...you truly are.

I see myself as a daughter, with all the rights and privileges of a first born son. I'm an "Achsah"...Caleb's daughter who YET inherited property and water-rights, just as a son would.

She is such a prophetic character in Scripture, who makes such a brief appearance, but when God showed her to me, she changed my life FOREVER.

lydia said...

Oh Sheila!! You are so welcome!!

Yes I love "Achsah", I just just learned about her, very awesome story!!

Wonderful words from scripture!

Great song!

jul said...

I like your take on the daughter/son thing Sheila! I think it's a bit of my wild (rebellious?) nature that makes me enjoy thinking of myself as son hehe, not to mention the crazy suppression I've endured at certain times as just a lowly woman in the name of humility and submission...

Wonderful promises here! Julie and Sheila, thanks for bringing the "son" as an heir issue up! I was totally brought back to an encounter I had two years ago before I entered the grace journey full on...the Holy Spirit whispered "Tirzah" to me with such affection as though He had just called my name. I looked up the name in the scriptures and found this:

"You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, As lovely as Jerusalem, As awesome as an army with banners." Song of Solomon 6:4
The name means "she is my delight." :)

and...

Tirzah is first mentioned in the Torah (Numbers 27:1) as one of the five daughters of Zelophehad. After the death of their father, the five sisters went to Moses and asked him for hereditary rights. Moses brought their plea to God, and it was granted.

VERY cool! I will have to check out the story of Achsah too.

Pappa loves his girls doesn't he?! :)

Thanks Joel!

Cirra ~ Wow, I love love love what you shared about Tirzah and how God spoke to you, AWESOME!!!
