Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.
Family, as a continuation of yesterday’s devotional regarding going where God leads you, tonight is about how to grow once you get there. Where God plants you is where He intends to nourish you.
Psalm 1:1-3
New International Version
BOOK I
Psalms 1–41Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 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.
Family, every one of us is walking a different road, but the secret to spiritual growth is always the same. When we delight ourselves in the Lord, our character begins to reflect His character. Our words, our choices, our attitudes, and our actions become evidence of the One who has been nurturing our hearts.
One thing I say often is:
DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF SEEDS YOU PLANT, YOUR FRUIT WILL ALWAYS TELL ON YOU, GOOD OR BAD.
God is far more interested in our faithfulness than our popularity. Before He entrusts us with greater responsibilities, He watches how we steward what He has already placed in our hands.
The Bible says it this way:
Luke 16:10
English Standard Version10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Family, don’t become discouraged if you don’t see fruit overnight. Trees don’t grow in a single day, and neither do disciples. God is patient with us because He knows that healthy roots produce healthy fruit.
Stay planted.
Stay faithful.
Stay close to the Living Water.
In His perfect season, the fruit will come, because the word of God says:
Galatians 6:9
New King James Version9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Welcome to your new season, Family. If by chance this season feels familiar, take a moment to look back at the one before it. Ask yourself, What did God teach me? Where did I grow? Were there lessons I overlooked? Then sit quietly with God. He is faithful to reveal what still needs to be cultivated within your heart.
His grace and mercy will walk with you every step of the way.
Let Us Pray
Abba,
Thank You for planting us exactly where we need to be. Teach us not to rush the seasons You have designed for our growth. Help us to send our roots deeper into Your love, Your Word, and Your presence.
When the journey is steep, give us steady feet. When the path is uncertain, remind us that You walk beside us. When we grow weary, strengthen us to remain faithful until the fruit You have promised appears in its proper season.
Lord, cultivate within us hearts that trust You completely. Remove anything that keeps us from becoming all You created us to be. May our lives bear fruit that brings You glory and offers hope to those around us.
We choose today to stay planted, to stay faithful, and to stay close to the Living Water, knowing that You are working even when we cannot yet see the harvest.
In the precious name of Christ Jesus, we pray. Amen, Amen and Amen.
