Daily Devo - John 15:8a

“This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit…”
John 15:8

Jesus tells us that, as we live IN HIM and IN HIS WORD, we can ask whatever we wish and it will be given to us. THIS brings the Father glory. When you think about it, everything we do in life is to bring the Father glory. What does that mean?

To ‘give something glory’ means to ‘acknowledge its high value, worth’. So, if I had a $2,000,000 diamond, I ‘give it glory’ by treating it like the precious gem that it is. I would clean it, protect it, and make sure that I use it in a way that would demonstrate its high value. I wouldn’t leave it laying around or play catch with it in the front yard because it is too valuable for that.

Our God is worth way more than that diamond. Our entire lives should be focused on acknowledging His high worth. We do that by ‘spending’ our entire lives on Him. He is worth our time, our energy, our thoughts, even our actions. When we turn our hearts to other things, we are saying they are more valuable than Him. When we DO bring the Father glory, it shows people just how valuable He is!

PRAY and ask God to show you the vastness of His Worth. Ask Him to help you to bring Him glory in everything we do.
