Today’s Scripture: He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. John 15:2 NLT
Our “to do” lists sure keep us busy, don’t they? Can we be too busy trying to produce results on our own efforts rather than including God?
It is God who produces even more. Striving to produce what this world calls for can cut us off from God. Do you want to produce the fruit God intends for you to produce?
God prunes us and shapes us so we can produce His fruit. We will produce even more with Him yet often times in our striving we forget the source of our strength don’t we? Jesus tells us we can do nothing without Him; nothing that bears God’s fruit.
In this very same passage we are told to ask whatever we wish and it will be given to us. I am asking God that I produce His fruit.
Do you believe you will produce even more with God?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, You are the vine, the source of who I am. Forgive me for when I seek the nutrients and the fruits of this world over You. LORD I ask that I produce Your fruit today. Prune me; shape me to produce even more for You. Thank You for your generosity. Amen
