You decide what fruit you are

Psalm 1:1-4

“Blessed is the man who does now walk in the counsel of the wicked. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.”

Matthew 12:33

“Today is the day to stop thinking you are the victim. If your tree is producing crab apples, then change it. Jesus said “either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruits bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.”

It doesn’t matter what kind of life you have lived because you are in control of your destiny. If you have lived even the most sinful life, doubted and didn’t believe in God, you can change your ways.

Like it says in Matthew 12, even if your fruit has been bad until now, TODAY you can make a decision to change it for the better good. You can breakthrough with God in whatever kind of lifestyle, situation, problems you are in right now. The only thing stopping us is continuing to live a life of sin and a lack of vision.

1. God has a vision for each and every one of us, without one, we will perish

2. Our vision is our future

3. We can change any negative vision or lifestyle into a positive one

Embrace Change

Matthew 18:3

“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Romans 8:28

“All we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose.”

The sun. One of the many splendors that God created. It rises through the darkness and shines throughout the land and sets after a long day. The sun can mark a transition point in our lives.

Let’s start with the sunset. The light fades into darkness and this could reflect how we turned away from God and lived in the darkness of the world and valued whatever it gave us more than the Word. Then over time, we realize how dull and boring the world can be, and with a breakthrough and change of life, darkness falls and the sun rises. We rise to a new day and lifestyle.

As we transition from the point in our lives where we were distant from God and our vision seemed either irrelevant or nonexistent to getting to know Him better, we must become and remain moldable. Let our hearts be molded into His word. God is the potter and we are His clay and if we are to achieve greatness, we must live (to the best of our ability) as Jesus did. When we embrace change, God reveals himself to us and makes the vision for our lives more apparent.
