Take Refuge In God

    Blessed are all who take refuge in him - Psalm 2:12. 

                Our God is the place of refuge where we can go and hide amid the storms of life. He promises to be a hiding place, a rock of refuge, a shelter in the storms as we take refuge in Him. 

“The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble.  He cares for those who trust in him.”  Nahum 1:7

A Man Reaps what He Sows

A man reaps what he sows - Galatians 6:7.

Be watchful on what to sow

                  We need to be watchful on what we sow to us. If we sow love, we will reap love, if we sow joy, we will reap joy and if we sow iniquity, we will reap sorrow. But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward - Proverbs 11:18. He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow - Proverbs 22:8. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Need patience to reap the increase

                  We will reap what we sow and more than what we sow but we need patience.  Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near - James 5:7, 8. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness - 2 Corinthians 9:10. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up - Galatians 6:7-9.       

Reap the increase with songs of joy

                Let us be watchful on what we sow to us and be patient to reap the increase with songs of joy. Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously - 2 corinthians 9:6. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping,  carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them - Psalm 126:5,6.

                                                                      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be watchful in what we sow to us as we sow what we reap and let us be patient to reap the increase with songs of joy. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around - Psalm 3:6.

God with us to help us

            The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? - Psalm 118:6. The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? - Hebrews 13:6.

I Am The Vine You Are The Branches

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit - John 15:5.

Abide in God to bear much fruit

              Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches. I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser - John 15:1. We cannot bear fruit unless we abide in Him as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in vine. Also, we need to submit ourselves to the Father's pruning work to bear more fruit. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me - John 15:1-4. 

Apart from God, we can do nothing

              We can bear much fruit as we abide in Him and He abides in us. It’s in him there is life. We cannot produce fruit without life and we cannot do anything apart from him. If a branch is cut off from the vine, the branch dies, withers, and there is no fruit.  I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned - John 15:5-8. 

Love and Joy Perfected

               We will abide in His love and joy as we keep His commandments. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you - John 15:9-12. Let the word of Christ abide in our heart. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly - Colossians 3:16.

Ask what you desire, and it shall be done

               Let us abide in Him and His Words abide in us so that we bear much fruit and when we ask what we desire, it will be done for us. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples - John 15:8. 

                                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Vine and we are the branches. Let us abide in You and bear much fruit. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
