"Walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing
Him, being fruitful in every good work
and increasing in the knowledge of
God."
Colossians 1: 10
Severe drought in many parts
of U.S. is directly
impacting
crop production.
A recent survey by American Farm Bureau Federation
found that 37 percent of American farmers have killed
existing crops because they won’t become mature due
to dry conditions, while other
farmers have chosen not
to plant as many crops. The lack of rain has led to a
decrease in our land’s fruitfulness.
Our spiritual
life can become plagued by drought as
well. When time in God’s Word and prayer diminishes,
our life produces less fruit. But we don’t need to wait
for it to rain before we see an increase in fruit.
When our life seems spiritually dry, we must return
to basics. Douse your mind in God’s Word. Refresh
your soul with time in prayerful solitude. Water your
heart through fellowship with other believers.
As we do this, we once again bear spiritual
fruit.
Our words, actions, and characters will reflect
Christ and point others to Him. Walk worthy of
the Lord, bearing spiritual fruit for Him.
"Growth is the only
evidence of life."
