Morning by Morning, June 5, 2025 - “Abide in Me”

 

Morning by Morning, June 5, 2025 - “Abide in Me” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your words in my mouth, as I begin my day abiding in You. ... “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me” (John 15:4). In a practical way, what is it to “abide in (You),” Lord Jesus? ... As I watch and wait, what I hear in my heart is this: “To abide in Me is to seek Me and find Me as the Source of all you are and all you need.” ... Yes, Lord. You are “the True Vine” and I am one of Your “branches” (v. 1). As I seek to “abide in (You),” to seek You, to find You, to embrace You as my Source of all I am and all I need, my life will “bear much fruit” as one of “(Your) disciples” (v. 8). As You said, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (v. 5). I do thank You that I never have to be “without (You). You’re with me every moment of every day. You’re with me “always” (Matthew 28:20). You “never leave (me) nor forsake (me)” (Hebrews 13:5). By the intimate, indwelling Presence of Your Spirit —“the Spirit of God,” “the Spirit of Christ”— here in my heart, You are in me and I am in You (Romans 8:9). “Christ in (me), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). You are my “Secret Place” and the “Shadow of the Almighty” where I abide in the communion of my deeply personal, intricately intimate relationship with You, where I embrace the Promise of Your Word: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). “He shall abide before God forever” (Psalm 61:7). By Your Spirit, “(You) abide with (me) forever” (John 14:16). To “abide” in You is to fully embrace, Your mercy and grace and the fullness of Your love. So by the power of Your grace, by the mercy and goodness of God, I choose this day to accept Your invitation and to obey Your command, “Abide in My love” (John 15:9). “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be forever abiding in Jesus, seeking Him and finding Him as your Source of all you are and all you need, in the mercy and goodness of God by the power of His grace, in Jesus' name.
