Lately, I have become a huge admirer of the work of Joel Osteen. Life can get
very busy, but I've found that receiving daily e-mail devotions from Joel Osteen
helps to ensure that I get o wrod from God for my day!

Today's Scripture

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will
bear much fruit; apart form me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Do you need more power and strength in your life today? When you are
connected to the Father through Jesus, you are connected to your life source.
Just as a branch is sustained by the vine it’s attached to, we are sustained by
being attached to Him. If you think about how fruit grows, it doesn’t just happen
over night; it takes time and the right conditions. In the same way, the spiritual
fruit in your own life develops over time, too. You might be tempted to get
discouraged if you aren’t seeing “fruit” as quickly as you’d like, but be
encouraged today! If you’ll keep your heart humble before the Lord and stay
connected to Him through prayer and studying His Word, you’ll see that fruit
begin to form in your life just as He promised! You’ll see the fruit of joy, which is
strength. You’ll see the fruit of love and peace, which will sustain you in the
midst of difficulty. As you stay connected to Him, you’ll be empowered and
equipped for every circumstance, and you’ll live as an overcomer in every area of
your life!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I humbly come before You. I recognize that You are the source
for everything I need in this life. Keep me close to You always and turn my heart
and mind toward Your ways. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
