Abiding Fruit week 2, Day 4

I think next week I’m going to put the weekly theme in the title instead of the study name.  Mostly because I am getting confused writing these titles every day.
I am also not going to paste the Bible verses today.  I’m just tired and feeling a bit lazy. Hopefully no one forgets their Bible in a room with a sleeping child this morning!  I may start setting all of my Bible study items in the living room next to my chair. 
Thanks for all the prayers yesterday.  I’m praying for y’all, too.  This season of life is tough, but I know we’ll make it through.
We are in John 15:1-11.
Day 4: COMMANDS
He’s our Father. He loves us. He designed us. He knows us perfectly. He gives us
commands for our good and His glory. When we choose to obey, we choose His
blessing. - Savoring Living Water
Read this week’s passage noting COMMANDS in your journal. Read the passage again, this time looking for any implied commands. We can learn much from the experiences and failures of people in the Bible. As the Word commends or disapproves of certain characteristics, we can use this as a model towards Christ-likeness.
• Note the things He tells us to do or not do.
• Observe the things He tells us to lay aside or pursue.
• Look for Christ-like examples after which we can follow.
• Notice any mistakes of those who have gone before us.
