“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.” ~ John 15:4

Sometimes we settle for what we can control. We want what we want when we want it.
“Abide in Me,” God says.
Yet we muster up all we can and run away.
Why do you run?
“…be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV)
Another translation is…
“…be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)
So why do you run? Why do you hide?
God has a way of convicting us, making us uncomfortable when He desires more for us.
But we tend to see it as punishment, or God not being fair.
What would happen if you stopped running?
What would happen if you listened and heard His side of your story?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Abide in Me!
Remain.
Don’t depart.
Stand and be steadfast.
Don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for Him is a waste of time or effort. (1 Corinthians 15:58 MSG)
You might be tired, exhausted from the day’s duties. You don’t really know how you’re putting one foot in front of the other. You are just getting by. You need a vacation. You need oxygen!
Abide in Me!
The only one holding back is you. You have to be willing to give up what you don’t have.
And that’s hard to do.
You have to be willing to let your guard down.
As I watch the Final Four, now with Virginia and Texas Tech playing for the championship, the players intensity increases as time decreases.
We feel the same when a time isn’t on our side. The intensity of the matter at hand grows. The frustration or disappointment in ourself. We want more, yet we are still guarded; holding back, running away.
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.” ~ John 15:4
REFLECTION: What can you give over to God? How can you hide His words in your heart? Where can you go to be in His presence? Why are you waiting?
Be present in His presence.
“Abide in Me!”
