Daily Selah ~ Much Fruit

                                 
                           Daily Selah is a mini-devotional, giving us reason to pause and ponder
                                              about the Lord and how He wants us to live. 

~ Much Fruit ~

Doctors recommend adults consume 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fruit each day. Most of us tend to fail to reach that goal. 

The Bible has much to say about spiritual fruit. Jesus said, 

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. -John 15:8

Jesus didn't just say, "Get some fruit." He wants us to bear "much fruit;" lots of fruit.

Reaching the goal of producing fruit that pleases Him is not as easy as walking down the produce aisle of our local grocery store, but it is simple. Jesus told us how to get this fruit right before He said "bear much fruit."

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.-John 15:7

There is only 1 way to get this fruit. It is produced as we abide in Christ, staying with Him, following in His steps, allowing Him to produce that fruit in us. Producing "much fruit" is really becoming more like Him in our thoughts, our attitudes, our words, and actions.


Father,
You alone are worthy of all glory, honor and praise. Help us to walk so closely with You and Your Son that we produce much fruit for you, to the glory of Your Name. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
