“Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from Me you can’t do a thing. If anyone separates from Me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned. But if you stay in Me and obey My commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!”

Our God tells us that He is the vine, we are the branches, and apart from Him we will wiltand die. How many days do we begin without His word, then begin to pray when some
small crisis comes up? Maybe if we start praying when we wake up, listen to His word on the way to work, this crisis would be minor – not be a “crisis” at all. That’s a gift He gives
us when we try to live our lives with Him!

DEAR LORD, LET US ALWAYS KEEP WALKING WITH YOU BECAUSE AS YOU’VE TAUGHT US, WITHOUT YOU, WE WILL SURELY PERISH. AMEN.
