Abiding in Christ

 

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, 

ask whatever you wish, 

and it will be done for you.

John 15:7 

You stay close to God...

You hide His words in your heart...

You'll know what to ask for. 

When we were little girls we knew our daddy very well. We knew without a shadow of a doubt that he loved us. Unconditionally. We knew what we could ask for and what was better left alone. For instance, we never got the horse we longed for. And we knew not to ask for a new car when we turned sixteen. We were grateful to share the family vehicles. Yet we never once doubted his love for us. 

So it is with God. The more we know Him the more we understand His ways. And the more we know what not to ask for and what will be within His will to grant us. 

Savor this verse. It is sweet. 

Spend the week focusing on this scripture: 

• Read the verse in your Bible. 
• Read the passage before and after it. 
• Write it in your journal. 
• Ask the Lord to show you how it applies to your life. 
• Put it on a piece of paper and post it in a prominent place in your home so that you can see it often. 
• Put the words to music. Make up a tune or use one you already know. Singing always helps in the memory process. It's a left brain / right brain thing. 
• Always memorize the scripture reference with the verse so you can remember where to find it in the Bible.
