Living in Dependence on God

Today's Reading: John 15:1-11

Devotional: Our sermon emphasized the importance of God-dependent living in a world that often prizes independence. Today's reading from John 15 beautifully illustrates this concept through the metaphor of the vine and branches. Jesus makes it clear - apart from Him, we can do nothing of eternal value.

Reflect on areas of your life where you might be trying to operate independently from God. Perhaps it's in your work, your relationships, or your personal goals. What would it look like to abide in Christ in these areas more fully? Remember, dependence on God isn't weakness - it's the source of true strength and fruitfulness. Today, practice consciously relying on God's strength and guidance in everything you do.
