Hello all, Hope you have had a great start to a new week! I have a question for you. What if this year, instead of working harder and striving more, you simply abide? As I study the Gospels, over and over again I see Jesus calling us, not to do more or try harder but to Himself. What if this year our focus is simply on enjoying God and knowing Him more? John Piper says, "God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him." What if bearing a fruit-filled life of love, joy, peace, and patience doesn't come from trying to be more loving, joyful, peaceful, and patient - but drawing nearer to The One who is love, joy, peace, and patience? Don’t you think the patience, love and a greater passion for things of God would come if we would only abide in HIM? My prayer for us as we begin this new year is that we will enjoy Christ. That we will look for Him in the mundane and momentous moments of our days and we will exchange our striving to do for Him, for abiding with Him. Let’s not forget to assemble ourselves together as the Word teaches us.
