Personal Story Of The Day
Being Well Grounded
I picked up a gardening book the other day (a brief moment of mindless boredom) and surprisingly, got some good advice. Take care of the soil, and don't worry so much about the plants. If the soil is good, the seed will take root and grow."
In the parable of the sower in Mark 4, Jesus spoke of the importance of "good ground" (or good soil). He defined good soil as referring to those who "hear" God's Word, "accept it," and "bear fruit" (v20).
If we keep our heart soft and receptive, God's Word will take root, grow and produce fruit. In gardening, life is in the seed. Under the right conditions, it will grow until it reaches maturity and produces fruit. Similarly, if the seed of the Word is planted in the good soil of a receptive heart, it will grow until the character of Jesus is seen.
For the Christian, the power of the spiritual life comes from the indwelling Holy Spirit. As we open our heart to God's will, with eagerness to obey it, the Spirit causes us to grow and bear fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).
We can't make ourselves grow, any more than we can force growth from the seeds in our gardens. But we can tend the soil, keeping our hearts soft, receptive, and obedient to God's Word. Then we will yield the fruit of righteousness. What kind of soil are you?

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Fruit And More Fruit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Gal 5:22. References from Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:1-17.
To see just how much popular culture talks about love, take this quick test: see how many popular songs you can name in the next ten seconds that have love in the title. Even if popular music has never been your favourite genre, you can still probably name at least half a dozen songs with this theme.
Over the next few days we are going to focus on the qualities known as the 'fruit of the Spirit'.
Galatians 5:22-23 is frequently memorised and quoted, and we want to go through each of these attributes to discover what this fruit really looks like. We want to be able to know what this fruit is so that we can recognise it in our own lives and in the lives of others.
We begin today with 'love'. This quality so celebrated in popular culture is also frequently misunderstood. Love is not just warm feelings, or sexual attraction, or even selfless motives. In our verses today, Jesus is speaking to His disciples about love, and we are able to see how He describes this fruit of the Spirit.
First, we see that this love has a divine origin (v9). This isn't something we manufacture ourselves.
Second, love has an inseparable connection to obedience (v10). Jesus demonstrated divine love by His obedience to the Father; we demonstrate love the same way.
Third, love sacrifices for the good of others (v13). Again, Jesus is the ultimate example of this, as He gave His own life so that we might be saved. We are to love each other in the same way... without thought to our own gain, pleasure, or advancement.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 2 Peter 1:10
When we look back on all of our yesterdays, I am sure there are things we'd love to change. Our lives weren't perfect, and there are things we could have done differently to improve our life. This year will hopefully be better than the problems we have faced in past yesterdays. We can capitalise on our better experience and faith... we can also take advantage of the blessings our fellow Christians have learned.
Besides making changes in our everyday lives, we can make changes in our spiritual life. Peace comes from knowing God intimately, not just knowing 'of Him'. Remember, there is no physical promise of tomorrow. The breath we now breathe could be our last. We have had our yesterdays and today, but tomorrow might never come for some of us.
'Forever' still exists when time ceases. What better thing to do this day than to make sure you are on good terms with our Saviour, Jesus Christ!
If changes need to be made pertaining to your spiritual life, why not start now? Eternity is coming to each of us at some time in the form of a non-corruptible body. Where we spend our time is always our choice and is always up to us. So make your choice now and make your election sure! Get ready to reign with the Lord forever!
