Abiding Worship


To abide in God, to take Him as our dwelling,

 is one of the highest truths in the Bible. 

I found this  wonderful explanation online . Six tips are given on how to abide in God.

One way we can abide in God is to  

First, eat Christ as the hidden manna.. The hidden manna is first mentioned in Exodus 16:32-34, which according to Hebrews 9:4 was placed in a golden pot, which was placed in the ark, which was in the Holy of Holies within the tabernacle of God.

This special portion of manna, the children of Israel’s daily food, was kept aside as a memorial, and lasts forever. In Revelation 2:17 it is mentioned as the promise to the overcomers. Only those who overcome have such a special, hidden enjoyment of God, not the common kind that all people enjoyed together.

How can we have such a hidden enjoyment of Christ as our food? By spending personal, intimate, private time with Him every day. Our enjoyment of God must be more than in the meetings of the church. It is the private prayer and fellowship with God that cements the word we have heard into an eternal memorial within our being, and even more as a treasure within the house of God.

I have been seeking items online that would aid in our understanding ...  what we can do  to  spend time abiding in  Him!..  There are  multiple  YouTube videos on prayer journalling,  scripture journalling,   multiple podcasts with daily devotions.  Therefore,  we have no excuse really from being able to  make our private time with God a priority.   And it should be daily and  according  to  the manna  it is best if  devoured  first thing in the morning .  I am assured in my own life that the more quality time I spend  with Him each day,  the more time I have to  attend to the daily  needs I have to accomplish. I, also, find the more time spent with Him,  the better quality are the things for the family and home.

Since we have been talking about the Greatest Commandment I  encourage you to  go on your podcast app and listen to Alistair Beg  as he discusses    this in a part 1 and 2 .  I  found Alistair  on my car radio a few years ago and I have  really  loved his  teaching..  We actually travelled to Cleveland, Ohio to  visit his church  a few years ago.   If you do not know of him I encourage you to  listen to his Sept. 26th  podcast . For your convenience  you can type   Alistair Beg podcast in the bar and it will  go to  it online,  but you will have to scroll down just a bit to find it.  It was open for me right at Sept 26....  Part 1 and 2 of The Greatest Commandment.

Spend some time with this  quiet music to  relate with God  in praise, worship, and prayer!

  1. Your fave five post isn't here on the blog. Not sure what happened. But I have to say as I have gotten older, I understand more and more that my time in reading God's Word helps me grow so much.

  2. Good morning. I found my FFF included in Saturday’s post right after HHM. But anyway, absolutely.. our pastor suggested reading the New Testament again and again in a year.. maybe 5 times and see how mightily it changes our perspective and our lives! I think I will do that in 2023. I am reading Allen Jackson through the Bible plan. First time in my life I have stuck to it and I know I will finish. Hubs and I both are doing it together!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
