DAY 15 — STAY CONNECTED
Verse:
“For without me ye can do nothing.”
— John 15:5 KJV
Devotion
One of the greatest lessons in walking with God is realizing:
You were never designed to do life without Him.
A branch doesn’t struggle to produce fruit. It simply stays connected to the vine, and fruit becomes the result of that connection.
Jesus teaches us the same principle.
Sometimes we’re exhausted because we’re trying to produce what can only come from remaining connected to Him.
Peace. Wisdom. Strength. Patience. Direction. Self-control.
These aren’t things we’re supposed to manufacture alone.
The answer isn’t always “try harder.”
Sometimes the answer is:
“Get closer.”
When our connection with God becomes the priority, the fruit of our lives begins to change.
Reflection
Have I been trying to produce in my own strength what should be flowing from my relationship with God?
Where have I become disconnected, distracted, or overly self-reliant?
Today, remember:
Your greatest responsibility isn’t to force the fruit. Stay connected to the Vine.
