What kind of fruit would you be?
David Jacobs 

If you have ever had a garden or farm, you may understand how rewarding and at times frustrating the relationship with plants can be. Small changes in the weather, pests, and our own mistakes can alter the bearings of the crop immensely. Considering these verses, how have you cultivated your own crop? Speaking from my own experiences, I would say that at times I have been ripe, strong, and able to withstand potential dangers that were thrown at me by nature. At my weaker times, I have been withered, bitter, and susceptible to any pest or disease that came my way.

What may be more important to consider from these verses is the symbiotic relationship that Jesus mentions. He is the vine and we are the branches, meaning that he benefits from us doing well. We are all stronger or weaker together. If we trust in him and glorify God, we will bear fruit and our branches will sprout new branches. Love will be paid forward; God and his son loved us, we love them, and we will continue to spread this love to others in contact with us.

In all of nature we can recognize the symbiotic relationship between all living things. This relationship extends to God and us. It is this that John describes, serving to highlight that both parties need each other. Think about your relationship with Christ: what kind of fruit would you bear?

Prayer 

My Lord in Heaven, you have nurtured and nourished me through all of my life. You have sent your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to tend your fields of believers, although we have at times wasted his care. I humbly ask that you strengthen my relationship with you, O Lord, so that I may strengthen others relationships with you as well. I ask all of this in your holy name. Amen.

Allowing The Scriptures

To bring Joy To My Life

Frances Taylor 

The beginning of Luke's Gospel has always been one of my favorite readings. It makes me feel confident that I can believe what I have been taught. It also gives me peace because I know that God's promise has been fulfilled. We have been set free from fear. Of course, we will know fear of the unknown in this unpredictable world, but not fear of death because we can be sure that death is not the end, only the beginning of a new life. Otherwise, how could we continue to experience happiness and joy in the face of suffering? This freedom of fear, this belief in the good news – this Gospel message – is what made the early Christians so willing to face suffering in the name of Jesus. It is what motivated them to spread the good news to anyone who would listen. Is our world any less in need of the Gospel than theirs? I doubt it. Considering how we work so hard to be happy! How hard we work to avoid pain or suffering! So ...

Morning Prayer 

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

Inspiration 

Many wish to go to a multitude of other sources to find direction in life, especially in times of trouble. In Isaiah's day, many turned to wizards and those involved in the occult, and many still do today. But God's people should reject these methods and turn "to the Law and to the testimony. " (verse 20)

Prayer 

We dare not trust the world of darkness, but we put our trust in you alone, O Lord, as our source of wisdom for life. We know that Satan himself appears like an angel of light to better deceive many, and that false religions are full of doctrines of devils and sacrifices to devils, though the participants mostly are unaware of it. Only in your Word do we find the true light that will guide us through even the most trying of times. Amen.
