Today's Scripture

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart form me you can do nothing (John 15:5).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Do you need more power and strength in your life today? When you are connected to the Father through Jesus, you are connected to your life source. Just as a branch is sustained by the vine its attached to, we are sustained by being attached to Him. If you think about how fruit grows, it doesnt just happen over night; it takes time and the right conditions. In the same way, the spiritual fruit in your own life develops over time, too. You might be tempted to get discouraged if you arent seeing fruit as quickly as youd like, but be encouraged today! If youll keep your heart humble before the Lord and stay connected to Him through prayer and studying His Word, youll see that fruit begin to form in your life just as He promised! Youll see the fruit of joy, which is strength. Youll see the fruit of love and peace, which will sustain you in the midst of difficulty. As you stay connected to Him, youll be empowered and equipped for every circumstance, and youll live as an overcomer in every area of your life!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I humbly come before You. I recognize that You are the source for everything I need in this life. Keep me close to You always and turn my heart and mind toward Your ways. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Bless One and All
