Living In Him


“Thou has shown me that because thou art mine I can live by thy life, be strong in thy strength, be guided by thy wisdom; and so I can pitch my thoughts and heart in thee.” (The Valley of Vision, Arthur Bennett, editor; The Banner of Truth Trust, page 304).

Today, as every day, those who know Jesus are called to live by His life, not their own (Galatians 2:20). He is the Vine and we are the branches (John Chapter 15). He is our wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:26 – 31; Colossians 2:1-3). We are to center our thoughts in Him (Romans 12:1-2; Philippians 4:8-9).


This is a good day to tend the Garden that He has given us. Shall we nurture weeds and poisonous plants? Or shall we cultivate fruit that will feed those around us (Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5 – 8)?
