THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
STAY IN FAITH AND GOD WILL OPEN NEW DOORS AND TAKE YOU TO A NEW LEVEL OF HIS GLORY
In life, we ALL go through a PRUNING process. God will PRUNE our lives so that we can bear much FRUIT. To “PRUNE” means something is cut away, something is removed. In other words, maybe a good FRIEND that you counted on moved to another city. Maybe a BUSINESS shut down that you were connected to, or a RELATIONSHIP went a different direction.
Friend, God knows what you NEED in your life in order to GROW and FLOURISH. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just TRUST that He is working behind the scenes PREPARING you for INCREASE, preparing you to go to another LEVEL. Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period.
When you’re going through TRANSITION, don’t get bitter. Don’t get down and think it’s the end. Don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. Have the attitude, “God, I let this go knowing that it was only TEMPORARY provision, and what You have in my future will be GREATER than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change and stay in FAITH, God WILL open new doors. He will bring new OPPORTUNITIES, new FRIENDSHIPS, and take you to ANOTHER LEVEL of His GLORY!
Today’s Scripture:
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
John 15:2, NIV
