Doing and Being




As I meditated upon how Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5b, NIV), I am being reminded of how Jesus urges us to “remain in Him” if we are to accomplish anything of true worth in His Kingdom just as Jesus reminded the disciples back then and for the presence of the Holy Spirit to flow through my life – being the “river of living water” (John 7:38b, NIV) that enables me to share Christ with others through my work and witness for Him ensuring that I bear fruit for the kingdom, fruit that will last forever – having Christ chosen + appointed me to task assigned by Him and how I desire to have an ongoing, constant fellowship with Jesus and for me to dwell in His presence daily.

Indeed, I thank the LORD to know how God’s work is carried out through us by His strength – a life based in love and commitment, where “doing” flows from “being” as mentioned inside the Every Day with Jesus online devotional text. Truly, effective works flow from relationship with Jesus today as I pondered upon my Maundy Thursday’s reading.

Are you able to commit to spending more time just “being” with Jesus, rather than “doing” today?
