“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23).
There is nothing more appealing than a bowl of delicious fruit on the table.
As we compare this mental picture with the fruit described in today’s passage, we see the bowl contains a nice variety. Reach in and take as much as you want. Each piece is full of spiritual nutrients. As good as fruit may be for part of a meal, it’s even better as a snack. Fruit is available in endless supply, but don’t waste any of it.
This week we have only scratched the surface of the offerings on the table God has set for us.
Next week, let’s go back for seconds. With physical food we must watch our portions. With spiritual food? Not so. Let’s grab our Bibles and prepare to go back to His table for more. Bon appetit!
