Susan LaffertyThe habit takes me to the necessary. Wherever we are and whatever state of settled or unsettled we may be in.
Through the scattered parts of transition or life in general, it’s a habit that orders my day. Puts priority in its proper place.
This habit, shaped and established over the years, has shaped and established me. It is daily focused time with the Lord. A discipline that keeps me abiding in Christ through prayer and the Word.
The challenge given to us that day was purposeful. Powerful.
To stay in the Word like our lives depend on it. Because they do. And to speak the Word like their lives depend on it. Because they do.
We caught the urgency. To share with the millions. And with the neighbor across the street.
Abiding in Christ. It’s how we live and grow as believers. How we stay rooted. And fruitful.
But what happens when the props are gone? No church down the street or across town. No familiar worship gathering in the heart language.
What happens when you don’t have a list of small group Bible studies to choose from. No Bible study workbooks for purchase.
And the internet is unreliable. Spotty. Occasional.
Perhaps you’ve been there. Or you are there.
