TRIPLE-A POLICY

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" John 15:7 (KJV).

Before I was married, I couldn't live without it. Triple A, that is. (Now that I'm married, I have my husband, of course. Much more convenient than Triple A. And there was no mention of an annual fee for his services when I married him!)

I've lost track of the flat tires Triple A changed for me in years gone by. And the times they jumped my dead battery. (My aforementioned hubby takes care of such things for me nowadays.) Then there was the time my brakes failed and I had to rely on Triple A for help. To say nothing of the time I rode into town with the front of my car dangling precariously (or so I thought) from the rear of the tow truck as my passengers and I still rode in the car. (There were too many of us to fit in the cab of the tow truck!)

Yep, as a single gal, AAA was my security blanket!

As a Christian, I have a spiritual Triple-A policy. I don't have to pay an annual fee, either. However, I'm the one who has to put the plan into action. My part is to 1) ABIDE in Christ, and 2) let His words ABIDE in me. Then, and only then, can I take step three which is to "ask," in confidence, knowing that God will do His part in answering.

No, I just can't get along without my spiritual Triple-A policy.

As I suggested to one and all the other day, I'm going to spend some extra time this year abiding in Christ through prayer, then letting His words abide in me through Bible reading and meditation.

How about you?
