Psalm 1:3 – “He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 – “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Ezekiel 47:12 – “And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.
A few weeks ago, during my Saturday morning prayer time, the LORD highlighted the above three 
verses for me. He revealed that when a tree bears fruit, the fruit is not for the trees consumption. Rather, it is for the nourishment of those who come.
This year, as I attended the Good Friday service, I felt more of the grief and anguish I believe the LORD felt. It was revealed to me, there is no grief or sorrow too deep that I may go through, that the LORD has not experienced himself.
I am an oak of righteousness. And as such, Jesus says in John 15:1-2 – “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser…and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” So whatever pruning I go through, the fruit that is being produced in me is for the betterment of those who will cross my path.

Josh remember He is our ( your ) trust. When you examine Jeremiah 17:7&8 with the knowledge of what that term means in a legal sense you will see you are secure in Him. His Word is planted in you and the Holy Spirit is your teacher. Abide in Him( John 15:7) and turn your eyes upon Jesus. The hymn of the same name has ministered to me many times over the years-check it out. In this, your weary season, He will give you rest. Keep growing, going, and trusting
Good words. And being fruitful is an amazing gift and a blessing. The Lord is smiling upon you as He gives you favor. May your fruit abound and may you Excel still more. Blessings,
Thank you, Josh. Such a good word!

The fruit that the Father is producing in you, will be a blessing for many in ways you might never know about. Not just what is clearly visible around you, He is working on the unseen present and the future. His faithfulness to you will never end. He is with you always, in joy and sorrow, light and dark, excited or feeling blah. God’s grace and peace!
