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:
For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish. Jeremiah 31:25
Dear Lord,
Here are our burdens. Here are our worries and our fears. Here are our daily concerns that leave us depleted. You can hold them all, and you even want to, so that we can rest. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
