“Without Him”

 
without God I can do nothing

Last evening I was searching for a recipe to make homemade pancakes for my Granddaughters this morning.   As I was making sure I had all the ingredients I was a bit disappointed because I had every ingredient except for one.   That one ingredient missing would  cause the pancakes to be unsuccessful for sure.   Well I thought to myself that I needed to keep searching my spice shelf and I finally found that ingredient.   I was excited because now I can make those special pancakes!  This reminds me that in this life we must have certain things  to do His will.  We can not think that certain things can be missing for the Lord has a perfect plan and a perfect way to accomplish it.   We may have our abilities,strengths and talents but the Lord Jesus spoke something in John 15:5 that we must never forget…”without Me, you will accomplish nothing.”
 
 

John 15:5

The Voice (VOICE)

“I am the vine, and you are the branches.

If you abide in Me and I in you, you will bear great fruit.

Without Me, you will accomplish nothing.”

This is such a wonderful scripture to keep fresh in our hearts. Without Him we can do nothing and yet with Him ALL things are possible! All means all, and that little word with three letters contains big possibilities. Whether we are trying to do things for Him or the things that involve our daily accomplishments, it would do us good to know that we are pulling ALL of our strength and wisdom from His resources.  Praise Him today as you look to Him for all things for with Him you can accomplish that which you put your hand to!
