Exodus 22:1-23:9; Psalms 64:1-65:13; Acts 12:1-25
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine. Hosea 14:7
I sat down under his shadow with great delight. Song of Solomon 2:3
Abiding in Christ is the secret to “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18) and in “bringing forth much fruit” (John 15:5). These hearts of ours, so prone to wander, can return to Him, be revived, grow like a vine, and bring forth much fruit, all to the glory of God! Lord, make me fruitful today as I abide and delight in You. —Elizabeth C. Bishop
All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head, with the shadow of Thy wing. —Charles Wesley
