ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE

ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE: IT’S ABIDING IN HIS WORD AND ABIDING IN HIS LOVE!

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ASK WHAT YE WILL, and it shall be DONE unto you . . . 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE in MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7, 10.

It’s our moment of time to abide in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his presence; for it’s our PATH for the FULLNESS of JOY and PLEASURE for EVERMORE. For ABIDING in God’s presence, is to ABIDE in His WORD and to ABIDE in His LOVE – and there’s NOTHING else MORE or LESS to it.

Moses demands from the Father God to show him “THE WAY” to life. In other words, “THE PATH” to true life that makes one to THRIVE, be FRUITFUL, be FULFILLED meaningfully in the FULLNESS of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

And as Moses did experience, we need to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the FULLNESS of God’s joy and the PLEASURES that is evermore; and must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to ABIDE in God’s PRESENCES is to – ABIDE IN HIS WORD AND IN HIS LOVE – nothing more and Nothing less. This is the PATH and the HOW for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory to thrive, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate, in God’s gracious presence in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THEREFORE, ABIDE IN GOD’S LOVE AND HIS WORD IN ORDER TO ENJOY HIS PRESENCE – IT’S YOUR PATH FOR THE FULLNESS OF JOY AND PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“. . . 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye ABIDE in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that ABIDETH in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . .” John 15:1-16.
