1. Read John 15:1-11
2. Consider your life through the "first who, then what" framework. Here are some questions to help you determine if or how you are abiding in Jesus in your life.
a. Consider your "highs" in life right now - the things that are going well. What are they? Where is Jesus in those situations? What is he saying to you? How are you relying on his strength and not your own in those situations?
b. Consider your "lows" in life right now - the things that are difficult. What are they? Where is Jesus in those situations? What is he saying to you? How are you relying on his strength and not your own in those situations?
3. What is one step of obedience to Jesus that you need to take right now? Share that with someone and pray for the strength and wisdom to follow through with it. Trust God that he will bring about growth and fruitfulness through that obedience.
