There are some things I need to be reminded of. It is easy to get knocked off track or to live out of balance or to miss what really matters.
How are those things possible? Life happens. Lots of stuff goes on, and it is important that we remember God, allow others to pour truth in to our lives and stay connected to God.
Why is that true? Here is a word about that:
John 15:4-5 NASB
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
Nothing. Alone we end up with nothing. Or nothing might just mean we have chosen the wrong things and have none of the right things. Not alone is a great way to look at this opportunity or maybe missed opportunity.
Abide in Him, in God. Let God’s truth and God Himself be part of your life daily, hourly and each minute of every hour and every day. Why? Because alone we end up with nothing, and that is not where I want to be.
John 15:16 NASB
You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
When our fruit remains, there is more of Him and less of me. When fruit grows, there are more answered prayers and more people seeing and interacting with God.
Alone we are in trouble. Our lives may amount to nothing. With Him, abiding in God, we are set up for everything and blessings.
So invest wisely. Invest your time, energy and opportunities in what we will last. Stay connected to God.
