John 15

1 "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. 2 He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit. 3 You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. 5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me - and I in him - bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples. 9 "Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
How are we to stay attached to the vine if we do not spend time everyday getting into Gods word?
How are we to learn about the things God wants us to do if we do not spend the time seeking His face?
When God says He will give us things that we ask for, He gives it to us, only if its in His will... If we are seeking His will then there is no problem, He will give us what we need for the job... But say you are meant to be a check out chick, is praying for a horse really the best option?? If God is leading you down that particular path, then great! But if he wants you at the check out to give your beautiful smile to everyone you serve, then praying for a horse isn't really going to help you.
To know what you are supposed to be doing with your life, you need to do what Jesus said... Remain in the vine... Remain rooted in and anchored to God. Seeking Him daily... He will lead you where He wants you, if you will be willing to trust Him and continue to seek Him! Its amazing how things "just happen" when you spend your time connecting with and getting to know Jesus.
Let God make the arrangements, spend time seeking Him! He will sort it all out for those who love and trust Him!
