God's Garden

 "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;  they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that
the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
Psalm 92:13-15

    We often hear that in order to be fruitful, we must read our Bibles and pray. And that is true! But have you considered that to bear fruit, we must be faithful to God's house? The verse above says that "those that be planted in the house of the LORD" - that's church - "shall flourish....they shall still bring forth fruit in old age". That sounds like remaining fruit to me!

    I hope that our friends, coworkers, neighbors know that we are Christians. But how can we bear fruit, how can we bear witness that "the LORD is upright" and say that "He is my Rock" when we skip church every time it's too cold or too hot or we want to watch something on TV? When they see us out shopping, playing golf, or watching the SuperBowl on Sunday, or we're playing ball on Wednesday night, what must they think? If we are truly passionate about a thing, nothing will keep us from fulfilling that goal. May we never miss an opportunity to be found in the house of the LORD for it is there that we can grow and flourish and "bear fruit".
