Our pastor has been teaching a series on the word abide, as well as other concepts.
He is a fabulous teacher, encourager and challenges us always in our walk with the Lord.
To abide: to bear patiently; to endure without yielding; Withstand; to await; to remain stable; to continue in a place
and another form of the word is to dwell or remain.
I choose to abide in the comfort of the Lord.
There has been many other words he has chosen to teach on, each have power and consequence in our lives.
Each day we are given the choice to do what is right, what is true and good.
If we choose to abide in Him, we choose to be stable and strong and even if we are not feeling like that,
there is hope in the direction we are going.
He gives us strength to withstand many things that perhaps could have knocked us down.
There is a song we sing that says, “he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the shadow of the almighty.”
It is a promise.
I hold onto it and choose to abide in his presence. Always.
These are just a few thoughts as I continue into my evening, for His glory always.
