Happy Friday!
There are a lot of things happening in our world and in our lives recently that seem overwhelming, that are heart-breaking and maybe seem hopeless that they will resolve. I don’t want to sound trite, but I know a God that is sovereign and in control. He has proven this to me time and again – HE IS FAITHFUL. The last verse from a familiar children’s song “He’s Got The Whole World in His Hands” come to mind as I write this:
“He’s got everybody here in His hands,
He’s got you and me, brother, in His hands.
He’s got everybody here in His hands,
He’s got the whole world,
He’s got the whole world in His hands
I want to share some encouragement with you as we look to gather this Sunday. There is a lot to pray for in our world and among one another. As we look this Sunday at John 15, a familair word rings in my heart as I read this passage – Abide. Abide in Jesus in this moment, this weekend this coming week, this month, etc.
Abide. Remain.
