LITTLE ABIDING

LITTLE "A" - LITTLE ABIDING

"Keep abiding because evil messengers will not be able to harm you and their intentions to rain curses on you will turn blessing"

Many think after they have known the Lord, they can go to anywhere they like or live any life they want all in the name of grace. Definitely there is grace, but it's not a licence to sin. It is only a proof of His sufficiency to keep you through whatever may come your way.
Just like some forces (electrical, gravitational and magnetic forces) have fields. So also, grace has it's own field which whoever claims to be saved must abide. Whoever wants to continuously enjoy the presence and the potency of the power of God must be willing to obey the simple word "abide".
The word abide might look so simple to understand and common but a lot of people still find it difficult to obey the action word. Before the word "abide" can be used, there must be a provision for a location or region to which the word is to cover.
It was expressly commanded by Christ that Christians should abide in Him. This is the only guarantee for our fruitfulness and enjoying the blessings of heaven.
Many a times people wander out of the circumference of grace (they move out of the grace-field). It is not surprising that they had hardly gone far that evil befalls them.
In the case of the children of Israel, even when the instigated enemy came to curse them but because he met them abiding, the intended evil utterances were turned around for blessings. Numbers 24:2, 5-7 (KJV)  And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes...
Make it a habit to abide not for a season but always within the circumference of grace.
Learn to abide in His presence now and you will forever be happy in His presence eternally.

"Always take note of little things"
