Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-20

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

So many of us try to do everything on our own, by our own strength and our own understanding.

This always gets us into trouble, especially when it comes to doing the things God has asked us to do.

You see, if God has asked us to do something, He will surely give us what it takes to get it done.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

This doesn’t always mean that it will be easy or effortless. On the contrary, if God is equipping us, it’s because it requires His wisdom, His understanding and His Spirit in order to accomplish it.

Just as giving birth to a baby is hard, yet rewarding, so is doing the things that God asks us to do.

Yes, there may be pain and struggles. Yes, we may feel like we are alone sometimes, even though we really aren’t. We just need to remember that it’s in Him that we are able to do it.

And it’s in Him that we find our solace and our reward, not in the world that we live in.

So, go ahead. Do that thing that God is prompting you to do. Just be sure to do it with the tools and the weapons that He has equipped you with to get it done His way.

And then look to Him, and thank Him for being the Source of everything we need.

Amen 🙂
