Our Daily Bread: May 1 2020 โ€“ Living In The Branches

Our Daily Bread: May 1 2020 - Living In The Branches
*OUR DAILY BREAD*๐Ÿž๐Ÿž๐Ÿž
โ€œ`May 1 | Bible in a Year: 1 Kings 10-11; Luke 21:20-38โ€œ` 
LIVING IN THE BRANCHES
Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into Godโ€™s love and keep you strong.
Ephesians 3:17
READ EPHESIANS 4:14โ€“24
As I shared with my counselor my roller-coaster of emotions after a stress-filled week, she listened thoughtfully. Then she invited me to look out the window at the trees, lush with autumnal oranges and golds, the branches swaying in the wind.
Pointing out that the trunks werenโ€™t moving at all in the wind, my counselor explained, โ€œWeโ€™re a bit like that. When life is blowing at us from every direction, of course our emotions will go up and down and all around. But sometimes we live as if we only have branches. Our goal is to help you find your own trunk. That way, even when life is pulling from all sides, you wonโ€™t be living in your branches. Youโ€™ll still be secure and stable.โ€
Itโ€™s an image thatโ€™s stuck with me, and itโ€™s similar to the image Paul offered new believers in Ephesians. Reminding them of Godโ€™s incredible giftโ€”a new life of tremendous purpose and value (Ephesians 2:6-10), Paul shared his longing that theyโ€™d become deeply โ€œrooted and establishedโ€ in Christโ€™s love (3:17), no longer โ€œblown here and there by every wind of teachingโ€ (4:14).
On our own, itโ€™s easy to feel insecure and fragile, pummeled by our fears and insecurities. But as we grow in our true identity in Christ (vv. 22-24), we can experience deep peace with God and each other (v. 3), nourished and sustained by Christโ€™s power and beauty (vv. 15-16).

*REFLECT & PRAY*
โ€œ`Jesus, thank You for the overwhelmingly good news that the strength needed to withstand lifeโ€™s challenges isnโ€™t our own. Help us to grow ever-deeper roots in Your love and our place in Your family.
When do you feel most โ€œblown here and thereโ€ by lifeโ€™s challenges? How might remembering your identity in Jesus encourage and strengthen you?โ€œ` 
HAPPY NEW MONTH
STAY BLESSED
