Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you?
Close your eyes and envision any kind of fruit tree that is ready for harvest. This fruit has reached this point due to all the previous concepts we have looked at this week: seed, soil, roots, watering, growth, and pruning. Likewise, we bear spiritual fruit due to God word’s and His Spirit continuously at work in our lives.
In what ways is the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc) flourishing in your daily interactions with people?
Is the Lord using you to bear fruit for His name in any particular ministry or people group?
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference:
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ~Hebrews 13:8
Dear Lord,
Your name and your character never change. You will always be our Protector, our Comforter, our Gift Giver...our Savior! Your ongoing consistency has become our peaceful security in this chaotic world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
