1 John 2:28
And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.
I love the word abide. (What? You don't have favorite words? Ok, fine...) I love, especially, what it means in scripture -- the sense of dwelling within something, mostly God or God's word. It isn't a word that we use a lot in everyday conversation -- especially when something else will work -- but I hear it and feel instantly comforted.
These words and instructions -- to abide in God -- remind us that we are to dwell in God, to rest in God, to make our home within God's word.
Settle on in, folks -- abide in God.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
