WORD17 Week 10

March 13, 2017 by Kristi 2 Comments

 

Welcome to WORD17! This month it’s all about remaining.

 

If we tell a child to “wait right here” or to “remain here until I get back”, what do we hope that child will do?

 

Action Step: Let’s jot down a few descriptors and see where our lists take us.

 

Did your list contain any of these words? It’s where my mind went.

 

Wait

Stay

Remain

Don’t Leave

Trust

Listen

Obey

Rest

Pause

 

John 15:7 calls us to remain in Jesus.

Us, remain, in Jesus – it’s our choice.

But remaining doesn’t stop there. Jesus prompts us to let his word remain in us. 

His word – in us.

Once again, it’s a choice.

 

Today, how are we choosing? Are we choosing to abide, stay, rest, and remain in Jesus?

How about those situations where fear, discouragement, control, or envy wave their flag? Are we remaining? It’s not always easy, is it? I’ve sprinted away from his word in many situations. It’s real life and it’s growth opportunity. We can beat ourselves up for the failures, or we can see “God-opportunity” and grow.

After all, if it weren’t possible to remain in even those tough situations, do we really think Jesus would have offered it?

Are you ready? Are you ready to take that 1 little situation and turn it inot a remaining opportunity?

Take today by the horns. Let’s submit ourselves to Jesus, remaining in him and remaining in His word.

    What a great analogy for that verse. God teaches us so much through parenting! I pinned your lovely graphic. 🙂

Welcome


Welcome! I’m Kristi. And you are…?

Glad to meet you, new friend of faith.

Feel free to pull up a chair, make yourself feel at home. This is “our” space to be real, to grow in faith, and to walk deeper with God.

Be forewarned, however. This is a space for Sunday pewsitters becoming Monday through Sunday worshipers – a place where women walk deeper with God.  xo
