Abide in Me

Abide in Me

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

What a beautiful day to walk! It always amazes me how observant Remi is on our walks. He sniffs the ground beneath his paws and looks up to bark at the soaring crows and looks around him, as if to take in all of the beauty that surrounds him. He’s in his element, abiding so naturally with nature and God, the Creator. How about you and me?

As I walked today, I was reminded of how important it is to be grounded in my faith as I begin a new week. I soaked in the beauty around me and especially admired the colors of God’s handiwork. I came home and listened to “All the Poor and Powerless” by All Sons & Daughters and read a devotion to continue to align my mindset with Christ so that I could walk with him throughout my day.

Like Remi who walks next to me on a leash, I want to be tethered to Christ each day, abiding closely to him, and he in me. I hope you will also find ways to abide in Christ this week. Happy Monday!
