Bear Good Fruit

 

      God provides the seasons, the spring and fall rains and when the crops are grown in good soil, they become rooted deep and able to bear much fruit. Let that be said of us. Our youthful ways, our energetic young adult years and our middle-age wisdom and maturity can achieve in us a growing and deepening faith in Christ that brings us to a firm old age. Plant the seeds of the word and wait and watch with patience for the final harvest. Look at this verse and pray it will be true for each of us.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither-whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:3

     We are rooted in Jesus. Bear good fruit.

“I am the vine. You are the branches  If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.  Apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

     Remain in Him.

Lord,

Let our aging become beautiful in your sight as we grow in the image of Your Son and shine with His light wherever we go. Root us in Your loving Word. Let the truth wash over us as streams of living water, growing our spirit so strong that it will not wither.

Amen
