“Yes, I am the Vine, you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing."

John 15:5 NLT Bible

We live in an age where everyone is connected and it's just the reality of the times we're living in. We are always connected to one electronic device or another. In fact, many feel lost and incomplete if internet connection is unavailable or if something is wrong with their mobile phones. While there is nothing wrong with this, sometimes it affects our relationship with God, the One we should be attached to at all times. God is the Vine and as His children, we are the branches and if we want to have a lasting and fruitful relationship with Him, we must remain in Him. Branches literally feed off the vine, getting all the necessary nutrients to grow and thrive and we need to stay connected to God to grow spiritually.

We need to spend quality time in His Presence and in His Word and this should take precedence in our lives. We may have to turn off our phones, computers and televisions if it's deterring us from staying totally connected to our Heavenly Father. Without that continual intimacy and fellowship with Him, we can do nothing, and our spiritual life begins to decay as we drift away from God. Our connection to God determines the depth of our relationship with Him. 

Thank you, Lord, that You are the Vine. My desire is to be connected to you at all times, to let nothing deter me from being in Your Presence. Help me to put away anything that would prevent me from staying connected to you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
