As spring brings forth the leaves on the trees and life becomes fresh with the anticipation of summer rainfall, so we need to take stock of our lives as Christians.
The Bible talks about the tree of life. In reality, we need to be as trees. Let us look at the analogy.
As we learn to know our GOD, as we walk with HIM so our roots (faith) strengthen and push downwards, (giving us a secure basis for our lives) ever thicker and stronger (ifrm and unshaken)and seeking more water. (knowledge and a deeper spiritual relationship with our FATHER). Then we start to see the trunk thicken and leaves leaves growing on the branches, (our spiritual gifts) and the fruit comes first in small little flowers (our growth and maturity in GOD and HIS talents given to each one of us) which fall off and give rise to the end result - the fruit (our gifts) and ultimately to seeds which can be replanted to produce more trees. And lastly we can prune the branches which do not produce good fruit.
Today let us stop and contemplate a tree and then let us strive to be like the trees in our faith.
Let us feed our faith and water our spiritual growth. We can do this by reading our Bibles daily, by praying to GOD and strengthening our faith. Ultimately we will reap the benefits and grow in Jesus.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and love and I thank YOU that I can be like a tree. I humbly ask that you help me to strengthen my faith through which I will produce good fruit. I pray this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay awesomely GOD blessed today.
