Category: The Vine and The Branches

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.

This morning as I was praying, I saw very clearly a beautiful picture of vines. And silently I said to myself. “What was that?”

I immediately looked up scriptures with the word vine in it. The very first one that came up was the scripture, “I am the vine!”

I knew that God was reassuring me that I need to trust Him.

Not people, not things, not anything other than Him.

Trust in Him for our provision.

Trust in Him for our healing.

Trust in Him for our answer.

Trust in Him for our daily needs.

Think about how we breathe; it comes naturally.

As God’s children, that’s how we ought to trust Him. It should be natural and effortless, where we don’t even think about it. We just do it automatically. Every day, every hour, every minute, and in every situation.

But what happens? Fear, concerns and anxiety all try to attack us and cause us to doubt when our situation changes.

He is our Vine; trust Him! Without Him we can do nothing.

Today is a good day to be reminded that we are well taken care of, and to trust in our Vine; Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

The Lord has us! Amen.

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.

I am the vine. He is our source of life.

You are the branches. We are connected to Him and draw that life from Him.

As branches draw the necessary nutrients to survive and flourish from the vine they are attached to, we draw from Him to survive and flourish in our daily spiritual walk.

The vine exists to nourish, feed, and allow the branches to grow. The branch exists to bear the fruit of the vine.

As God’s children, we are nourished and fed by His Word. We read, learn and practice walking in the things He shows us.

We allow His wisdom to work in and through us daily, leaning on and trusting in His understanding more than our own knowledge.

We give Him room to teach us. We allow Him to help us in every aspect of our walk. And as we remain close to Him, we will bear beautiful fruit.

Such fruit will teach and bless others around us, and they too will grow from it if they are willing.

But without Him, trying to do such things on our own will be impossible.

Abiding in Him is where we get our nutrients to produce such beautiful and lasting fruit.

Amen.
