The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out and it produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to and it will prosper everywhere I send it. – Isaiah 55:10-11(NLT)
THE WORD PRODUCES FRUIT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Rain and snow cause crops and plants to grow
The more seeds you have thrown to sow
The more fruits it will bear that you can gather
The hungry are fed by these hard working farmers.
Just like how watering of the earth produces fruit
The word of God brings about deep roots
Whenever we feed and apply the word in our lives
It will make us grow, spiritually mature and thrive.
Have you ever invested time to read the word of God? I started feeding on God’s word in my late twenties. I wish I could have done it earlier so I could have saved myself the trouble of so much pain and suffering from many unguided decisions. The bible likens the word with rain and snow that produces water which causes the grain to grow and feed the hungry. It says that it has the same effect on producing fruit in our lives while we feed on it.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a hunger for your word.
REFLECTION
How often do you feed on Scriptures?
