Abide in Him

Waiting on the Lord involves trusting in who he is, in his word, in his many promises, and in his power, sovereignty and grace in our lives to work out all things in our lives according to his plans and his purposes. Life doesn’t always make sense, and sometimes it may even seem unfair and unjust, yet God has a plan and a purpose for all things we go through in this life. He will give us all we need to make it through, and the wisdom and discernment to do what is right. We just have to trust him, and we have to rest in him.

The way in which we are able to do this is through abiding (remaining; being steadfast) in him and through having his words live within us. Our faith is not a religion, a ritual, or just a belief system, but it is a relationship with Jesus Christ. He asks of us, that we might be one of his followers, to die daily to sin and to self, and to follow him in obedience (See Lu 9:23-25; cf. Ep. 4:17-24). Then he will live within us, and he will live out his life through us. And, in all that we go through in this life, he will fill us with his comfort, his peace and his healing.

Abide in Him  

An Original Work / July 31, 2013

Based off Ps. 27:14; Is. 40:31; Jn. 14-15

If you wait for the Lord, put your hope now in Him, 

He will give you His strength and endurance within.

He will renew your strength, so you will not lose heart.

You will soar on wings like eagles, never depart.

“If you abide in Me, and My words live in you,

You will walk with Me daily and follow what’s true.

I will live now in you; give you peace now within,

If you obey My teachings and turn from your sin.”

“If you listen to Me, and do all that I say,

I will give you My comfort; be with you always.

I will heal all your pain; life with Me now you’ll gain,

If in fellowship with Me you always remain.”
