It's Pruning Season - John 15:1-2 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
John 15:1-2 (NIV)
“It’s Pruning Season”

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  HE cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit HE prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
----------------------------------------------------
Sometimes GOD will keep me on a particular passage for several SODs!  Yesterday was about the importance of having the dead, dying and infested branches in our lives cut off.  This same passage also speaks of pruning season!  Every branch that bears fruit is not cut off, but it is pruned!  Both are done to protect the tree, just as GOD will cut some things out of our lives and HE will prune things in our lives!

GOD, the great gardener knows when “It’s Pruning Season” for you!  And HE knows what needs to be pruned and what needs to be cut off!  With trees, one of the best preventive maintenance for a young plant is pruning!  Wow!  The same stands true for our youth!  Their pruning season should start when they are young!  Pruning helps shape the tree without cutting off the base of the branch. 

GOD is pruning us to be better than we were last season!  HE keeps us growing in HIS Word!  If there is no fruit . . . let GOD cut the branch!  Let go, and let GOD!  If there is the fruit of GOD’s Word growing in your life . . . let GOD continue with the pruning season!  Trust me . . . GOD’s pruning will only make you better

Caries,

Thank you for the comment. Just like a farmer, GOD knows the landscape of our lives! HE knows the ups and the downs before we travel along our journey! HE knows the floods and the drought in our day before the weather channel! HE has given us the Spirit to navigate us!

Glory To GOD!
