Do You Have Room for God?
Today's Devotional Reading: John 15-18
December 23, 2009
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruiful apart from me." (John 15:4 NLT)
TODAY'S WORD
Being fruitful means being productive and excelling in everything you do. When you're fruitful, life isn't a drain, it doesn't wear you out and you don't have to force things to happen. The difference between living a busy life and a fruitful life is found in who we stay connected with.
When you confuse fruitfulness with busyness, you can head down a path that wears you out and robs God of His glory. You can be content when you're being fruitful because you know you're living a life that is pleasing to God. A fruitful life blesses others and receives God's blessings in return. This is how God intended your life to be!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, I know that I am often too busy for my own good. Help me to slow down when necessary and even say "no" to some things so I can give You my best. Thank You for Your love and for designing me to be fruitful! In Jesus' name. Amen.
We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
