Fruits Of The Spirit: A Devotional Journal

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful...he will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in its season; its leaf also will not wither and everything that he does will succeed.

-Psalm 1:1 and 3 (ONMB)

We were made to be one with our Creator, but often we wonder, "How can this actually happen?"

We may sit in the pew and hear the words, we may make our charitable donations or join a particular denomination.

This book is about more than those things. It is about examining ourselves (1 Corinthians 11:28) and asking the hard questions about our own growth in the very areas that will show whether or not we are replicating Jesus in our lives.

The scripture verses are taken from The One New Man Bible and The Amplified Bible because the translators of these versions have taken great care to include the best possible meanings of the original text. But in working through this journal, also read the verses in the version that you understand and love. Allow the scripture to open itself up to your heart and mind.

You will find yourself growing worthy fruit and you will also feel the pruning that will surely happen.

May you have a most abundant harvest!
