Reflection
In today's readings, we witness God's glory returning to Ezekiel's temple vision. Psalm 135 celebrates His greatness over all creation. John 15 reveals Jesus as the true vine who gives life to His branches. Together they show that God's presence transforms us and enables genuine fruitfulness when we remain connected to Him.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God's presence is central to true worship and spiritual fruitfulness, and we bear fruit only when we remain deeply connected to Him.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Remain in Christ through consistent devotion and obedience, allowing His presence to transform you and produce lasting fruit.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Spend 15 minutes in prayer asking God to reveal areas where you've drifted from Him.

2. Read one chapter from John's Gospel daily this week to deepen your connection with Jesus.

3. Identify one specific way you can obey Jesus' command to love others today.

4. Write down three ways you've experienced God's presence in your life this month.

5. Remove one distraction that's preventing you from abiding in Christ.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: What does it mean for you to "remain in Christ" in your daily routines and relationships?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God's presence is the source of all spiritual fruitfulness. When we remain connected to Christ like branches to a vine, His life flows through us, producing fruit that lasts. Until tomorrow, may you abide deeply in His transforming presence.
