“A
perverse man will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man
with the fruit of his deeds” (Psalm 14:14). Lord, You speak to us about
two kinds of fruit – good fruit and bad fruit. How are we to have good
fruit in our lives? We need Your Word (Psalm 1:1-3). We need Your Spirit
(Ephesians 5:18). Help us, Lord, to throw away our bad fruit – “strife,
jealousy, anger, selfishness … ” – and enjoy Your good fruit – “love,
joy, peace … ” (Galatians 5:19-24).
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
