Take time to behold HIM

After serving the Lord full time for more than a year, i discovered that many Christian do not "behold HIM" often, and this prompt me to send this hymn to the saints.

a)What does it mean to behold Him?
Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Our walk on earth as a christian begin with faith and we will end with faith, it where our faith will turn to sight, seeing HIM and the New Jerusalem (New Heaven and New Earth) coming down to earth. "To behold" is to see HIM using the "eyes of faith" and not our naked eye. By faith, we are able to talk with HIM, walk with HIM, and i believe by reading your testimonies and of the others, truly we all know how to behold HIM. But as to how? it take personal experience, and that is why there are so many testimonies by the saints testifying that our Lord has heard their prayer or even see the miracle. The moment we turn to HIM, by prayer or calling His name, we see HIM, and that is my testimonies. Praise God, i am able to behold HIM daily because "the just shall live by faith".

b)What does it mean to abide in Him?
John 15:4-5 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Abide in Him mean to be in His present all the times.

c)What does it mean to feed on His Word?
2 Tim 2 :14-16
But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

To feed on His Word is to let the Word of God hid in your heart that you might not sin against the Lord. To feed on His Word is to mediate in His Word and He will lead you to the paths of righteousness for His Names sake ( Psalm1:2, 23:3 and 119:11).

d)What does it mean to wait on His presence?
Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Isa 40:31 but they that wait upon Jehovah shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not tire; they shall walk, and not faint.

To wait is to let the Lord have the pre-eminent in our life and believe by faith that He will renew our strength each day. To wait is to let this wonderful Saviour to hid our soul in the cleft of the His rock that shadow a dry and thirst land.

e)How do we actually practically do all this?

Gal 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, dear saints. Amen.
