Luke 8-5-8The word for today is abiding.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full” (John 15:4-11).

“Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son” (2 John 9).
“Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it” (Heb. 4:1).

“Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine’” (John 8:31)

“No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us” (1 John 4:12).

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you” (John 15:16).

“The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:6).

Prayer: Lord, my soul yearns for You in the night; in the morning, my spirit longs for You.

Worship with me and sing a verse of “Constantly Abiding”: “There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave, A peace it cannot take away. Tho’ the trials of life may surround like a cloud, I’ve a peace that has come there to stay! Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine; Constantly abiding, rapture divine! He never leaves me lonely; whispers, O so kind, ‘I will never leave thee.’ Jesus is mine.”
