The Power of Connection

Read

John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abide in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Today’s Encouragement:

I was at work one day and this lady was trying to find a USB cord so that she could charge her phone because her battery was about to die. She was asking everyone in the lobby, but no one could help her. She noticed that there was a USB cord behind the counter and asked if she could borrow it. She said you can keep my phone back there while it charges. I took her phone and she walked away. I went to try and plug it into her phone, and it wouldn't work. I looked at the end of the cord and noticed I had an iPhone charger, and her phone was an Android. I had to call her back to the front and let her know it didn't work because it wasn't the right power cord. She thanked me for trying and went about her way.

I started thinking about how in life we sometimes connect to the wrong people or things that will drain the very life out of us. And if we would truly be honest, we have at one time or the other created little gods out of them as we have looked to them to be the source to fuel the fire that God placed on the inside of us.

Where you are going has a lot to do with what you are connected to. Whether it is people, your job, your church, etc. I believe being connected to the RIGHT people and things are very important as they are part of pushing you further into your destiny; however, they aren't to replace your relationship and connection through Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the connection that I have with you. I know that apart from I am nothing. As I draw closer to you, please draw closer to me and if I ever stray from thy presence please draw me back to your side. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Reflections

Are you connected to the right things? What things are draining your power that you need to disconnect from?
