If You’re in a dark season of the soul, it’s time to connect to the vine
When it seems we’re in a perpetual winter and our life isn’t producing fruit like it should, it’s time for a check-up. The word of God is living and active
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
John 15:4
To abide isn’t passive, it’s active. It means to continue in a state of being or to persevere. Reading the Bible each day is one of the best ways to stay connected to the vine.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.
Joshua 1:8
For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Fruit isn’t the result of striving, but of connection. Branches don’t have to strain and strive to produce fruit, it’s just a natural byproduct of being connected to the vine. Close the chapter on a season of barrenness and enter a new season of flourishing.
