Abide
I had a long day, one of my 3 kiddos was sick, the other one was challenged with getting along with others and my 3rd was struggling with the authority in the house. My husband had a very important meeting in DC, so I found myself trying to care for my sick kiddo, sharing with the other how important sharing was and finally helping the 3rd understand that we are all ultimately accountable to God but in our home, the kiddos are accountable to mommy and daddy. I was tired, stressed and just wanted to relax
I found myself hurrying to get everyone settled and into bed to put this day to a close. I rushed a little through devotion, our prayers were shorter than usual and I kissed them all good night. I rushed downstairs to clean up the kitchen, fold the final load of clothes and could see that relaxation was in sight. I poured myself a glass of wine and began to take a deep sigh until, I felt the Lord prick my heart. It wasn’t an audible voice but I could hear my heart say, is this how you were created to find rest and relaxation? I began to spend time with the Lord to allow Him to show me how and where He wanted for me to rest.
John 15:4 “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.”
