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. John 15:5
Do you ever think about this analogy, and do you find yourself trying to be the vine thinking you can control everything in front of you? The vine plays an integral role in providing nutritional sustenance to the rest of the plant, and without the vine you cannot have the branches. I am not sure any of us have the power to control everything, but we can take steps to control our circumstances and how we respond to things. God provides the guiding sustenance we need on a daily basis, we just need to remember to accept it and feed off what He gives. This free gift can strengthen us to live a righteous life and one God intended for us, not one that we try to control. Take a moment to see how strong your branch is, and if it isn't strong enough then what can you do to accept the gifts from God.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
