Today’s Scripture…
John 15:4-6
4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
Thoughts…
The phone is ringing, then I hear that familiar voice on the other line.
“Hi Honey!”
“Hi Dad! I need some help.”
Not sure how many times I have made that call. Flat tire, broken appliance, or advice, I pick up the phone and he is on the other line. Even now as a an adult with grown children of my own and grandchildren, I still make it from time to time. I am so blessed to still be able to call my Mom and Dad for help. They are both rocks in my life. God is waiting on the line for us to call also.
He is that strong vine with deep roots reaching out to you today. All you have to do is hang on Him. He is there to nourish you, refresh you, and give. you strength. When you reach out to Him you will grow strong. When the storms rage around you, you have someone holding on to you tight. You don’t have to go it alone. Grab on and don’t let go.
I know I won’t be able to call my parents forever. I know one day I will not hear that voice on the other line when I need help. I do know everything they have taught me will continue to help me in my life. I also know God will always be there on the line waiting for me to connect to Him. Waiting for me to grab back, so He can help me bear fruit!
How about you? Are you reaching out and hanging on today?
Prayer…
Lord thank you for always picking up the line when I need you. Than you for being my vine that keeps me stable. ~amen
