Respite For the Weary
Friday
Picture: Tree (bearing fruit)
Scripture: John 12:24; John 15:8-11; Galatians 5:18-25
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:
But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." Mark 5:36
Dear Lord,
You say to each of us, "Do not fear, only believe." Then why do we seemingly hear the opposite, "Do not believe, only fear"? Convict our hearts and strengthen our faith. May we daily choose your promising truths. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
