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:
The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. Proverbs 12:15
Dear Lord,
Help us to remember that the fool-proof-plan to walking wisely is to listen to godly counselors who are founded in your Word. Keep us from thinking that your living words are out-dated, or that we know better than you. All Wise God, be the author of our faith-filled path. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
