His Word for Today: Book of Isaiah 11:1

This morning’s verses speak of the fruit of the Spirit.

What is at the root of our lives? Is it Christ? The Lord desires that we bear the fruit of the Spirit of Christ: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (See Galatians 5:22-23). In reality, we may not be able to manifest the fruits perfectly all the time, but we can always choose to continue to grow in these areas.

Today, let us ask the Lord for His strength to grow in these areas of the fruit of the Spirit. If we think we know them all and have arrived, we will put a halt to the potential to grow even more to become the best that we can be for the glory of the Lord on this earth (See Proverbs 26:12, Philippians 1:6).

May the Lord continue to bless you richly!
