Susan LaffertyIn our first meeting, I describe to the new believer how a follower of Jesus sets aside time and space every day. For focused communion with the Lord.
This conversation on abiding continues each time we meet.
We talk about the soul’s need for daily food from the Truth of Scripture.
And how to come before Him with mind and heart open to His Word.
Stay the course.
Hold on. Hold fast.
Endure. Persevere. Keep walking His path.
We hear these instructions but sometimes hesitate to take that next step.
So, to the inexperienced, anxious about what’s ahead, the Lord repeats “Be strong and courageous…” (Joshua 1:9).
Words and more words. Flying across the internet.
Strutting through various forms of media. Selling incivility and foolishness.
Missives dismissive.
Declarations disruptive.
Treacherous.
