And Moses said to the Lord…”Please, show me Your glory.”
This past Sunday, Jeff Pratt brought forth a wonderful message on the 3 P’s that we all need to
have for a vibrant Christian walk... Power, Presence and Purpose. He asked us to seek which
one we needed. For me, there was no question, I want to experience and dwell in His presence.
One of the things I’ve learned over these past 5 decades of being a Jesus apprentice, has been
the necessity of starting my day by abiding in His presence. I do several things including prayer,
Bible reading, journaling and reading some devotional/spiritual book. I want to commend to you
Jeff’s book, “The Homeward Call” as a devotional. The book is set up so that each chapter
allows you to reflect on your story as it relates to what Jeff has written. This is an excellent tool
to help build us up in our walk with Jesus. It is available on Amazon.
Abiding in Him,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
Pastor Chris Yount
