But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
How do we know if we are like the tree planted by the water?
The most apparent way is by our fruit.
When we trust in the Lord, when our confidence is in Him, we lead our lives with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and discipline. The fruit of the Spirit is a collective package delivered through our nourishment in the Living Water.
Today is a good time for a diet check.
Is your life led by the fruit of the Spirit?
Are you patient? Kind? Gentle? Loving?…
When I’m struggling in an area, I know it’s time to check what I’m consuming and return to a lifestyle fed by the Word and watered by the Living Water.
What have you been consuming? Does your lifestyle diet need checked? Do you need to have a talk with the Great Physician about what you’ve been consuming lately?
