Bearing Fruit? or Staying Busy?

We like to be busy.  We take pride in the fact that we are doing so many ‘meaningful’ things.  But take notice — being busy does not mean that you are getting the desired Kingdom outcome.  Unless you are leaning in to His presence, taking His direction, moving in His will — you might be doing good things; but they may not be the thing He has for you to do.  Abide!  Without His presence – you cannot accomplish His will.

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
