Daily CLC Prayer verse

Today’s reading is 1 John 2
“I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:26-28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because John says, “But the anointing that you received from him abides in you”. Do we appreciate how great it is to be able to abide in Christ? It’s easy to be deceived when we are not abiding in Him. The peace and joy that occurs when we know Christ is in us and enabling us to do His will is better than any feeling. Augustine said, “our hearts are restless until we find rest in thee”. Please pray that we and our friends seek His rest today. Please pray for Jeremy and Gary’s group.

  1. Hey Neal –

    I just visited with Larry Green who I think you know – he recommended an old book by Alan Murray – Abide in Christ! Great meeting you in person Sunday at Peachtree in the Welcome Center – thanks for your commitment to these devotions!
