Take Your Shoes Off
March 31st, 2025
John 15:1-8
John 15 is a passage familiar for many of us, and with familiarity, we are tempted to read quickly or skim through the text. We’re in a hurry, always ready for the next item on the agenda. Today, can we take a moment to hit the pause button? Perhaps we can use the mute button as well—silence the external noise and distractions.
While you’re at it, take your shoes off. When our shoes are on, our brains are prepared for the next place we have to be. Right now, in this moment, let’s just sit and be with Jesus. Let’s linger over the Word together.
The first rule of dealing with technology when it doesn’t work is “power off, power on.” This usually fixes the issue. Jesus speaks to our hearts and reminds us to stay close to Him, to remain plugged into the source of our power.
What do we do when we start feeling disconnected spiritually? Instead of blaming something or someone, perhaps we need to remember the source of our power and spend time tending our roots.
Read the Word. Pray. Worship. Meditate. Take your shoes off and sit with Jesus for a while.
