In Him We Live
>> June 6, 2010
Today is Monday Manna, an opportunity for many of us to ponder a specific verse that Joanne has posted on her blog at Open Book.
Acts 17:28: In Him we live and move and have our being.
Ever since Joanne posted the verse for us to focus on for today's Monday Manna I have been singing the early '80's praise chorus:
In Him we live and move
And have our being
In Him we live and move
And have our being
Make a joyful noise (woo!)
Sing unto the Lord
Tell Him of your love
Dance before Him
Make a joyful noise (woo!)
Sing unto the Lord
Tell Him of your love
Hallelujah!

What comes to my mind is the fact that when I am in Him:
I follow His will, not my own.
I focus on Him, not myself
I have joy,
I have life,
I want to rejoice and worship Him.
And when I'm not in Him?
I don't even want to move.
I am nobody
no joy
no life
I want to only dwell on the situations and not the solution.
He is the solution to my situations and I will gladly yield myself to be in Him. Read more...
