Dependence: "the state of relying on or being controlled by someone or something else." (Concise English Dictionary)
Today we begin the third 10-day segment of our 40-day journey together: a pathway to dependence.
We are on a grand journey to be face-to-face with the lover of our souls, Jesus Christ. We are seeking to be more intentional about drawing near to His heart. We are seeking to be more intentional about drawing near to His voice. Our Beloved is inviting us to a deeper place of dependence on Him.
A place of complete surrender, a place of abandonment, a place that causes us to say, like Moses, "unless you go with us, we will not go up from this place." That place is a place of dependence, a place of resting in Him. Now, let us seek to let the Word draw us into a place of total dependence upon Him.
John 15:4: "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me."
Abiding in the Vine is one of our greatest privileges as followers of Jesus. As you abide in Him, what has Jesus been producing in you? In what ways can you allow Him to do more?
