Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 6th February 2026 (Friday) Message
TOPIC: Fruitfulness Is Better Than Busy-Ness
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. — John 15:5 (NKJV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Today people are very busy, but that doesn’t mean they are busy doing what will bear good fruit for God (meaning to make a positive difference in the world and to bring honor to Him, or to be productive) in their life. God has not called us to be busy, but He has called us to be fruitful (John 15:4–5).
Today’s scripture says that if we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit. To abide means to live, dwell, and remain in. Meditating on God’s Word is part of the abiding lifestyle. We cannot have only a one-hour visit with Jesus on Sunday morning during a church service, not think of Him until the next Sunday, and expect to live a fruitful life. The abiding lifestyle means that we include Him in everything we do and acknowledge Him in all things. We talk to Him, think about Him, and think about His Word throughout each day.
God’s Word rules. This means that when a decision needs to be made, we make the one that agrees with His Word. There are two words that can never go together in the life of a Christian: “No, Lord!” If He is our Lord, then our answer must always be yes.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me abide in You daily. Teach me to include You in every thought and decision, bearing lasting fruit as I align my life fully with Your Word, amen.
