Jesus gave this comfort to His disciples as He described the challenges life would throw at them.  The key, He said, was learning to abide in Him.  Protection, provision, direction, and miracle working power were all freely given to those who would live according to His teachings and keep close communication with Him through prayer.

Yesterday I was able to encourage a young minister by reassuring him that He could trust the Lord’s leading in his life as I have done for over 50 years.  Tears came to his eyes as he soaked up my support and testimony.

It’s the best way to live.

DAILY PRAYER:  Father in Heaven, we want to fully abide in Christ Jesus and reap all the benefits made available to us in this glorious salvation.  We will do Your will as You grace us with the power.

DAILY READING:  John 15,16
