Abide

ABIDING              

Many days, we are too busy to let Him have His way.

John 15:4, Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

            One of the ladies at our church trimmed our rose bushes back this week. She put all of the clippings in a bag and I took them off to dispose of them. While I was tying the bag up, I notice that the trimmings were already shriveling up. Yet, it had only been a few hours.

            Child of God, when you don’t abide in the Word, work, and way of God, you too will shrivel up and fade away. It won’t take long either. Just a few days and you’ll be out of church struggling to get back where you use to be. Thankfully, you will not lose your salvation but you will lose your effectiveness in this sin riddled world.  

            So, slow down and abide in Jesus for a little while. It will not only do you good but those around you will benefit as well.

GIVE ME JESUS!

Jesus Christ is light to the eye, honey to the taste, music to the ear, joy to the heart. –Spurgeon

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Have you ever woken up with a peaceful thought on your mind that puts you in a great mood? I’m talking about a mood that carries you throughout the day? Well when I wake up with Jesus on my mind that’s exactly what happens! But I have noticed something, this normally happens when I go to bed with Him on my mind as well! That’s something to think about; going to bed with His faithfulness, mercy, grace, loving kindness, longsuffering, care, etc on my mind will carry on throughout the day and to another day! Just give me Jesus for a better day! What a blessing!
