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:
And (Moses) cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. Exodus 15:25
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your sweet provision in the midst of sometimes bitter circumstances. As we walk through trials, open our eyes to your goodness and grace. Bless us with your perspective and help us to savor it. Today, may we taste and see that you are good (Psalm 34:8). In Jesus' Name, Amen.
