Before Jesus returned to heaven, he gave his disciples a command: “Stay.” Only after they had stayed, prayed, worshiped, and waited in Jerusalem did the Holy Spirit come to them. We, too, must learn to stay. God has great things in store, and growth to be had, in our current situation. We must learn to be consistent, to remain, to be planted, and to have staying power for God. Our community, our why, and our reliance on God will grow our ability to stay.
