(Sundaycast) Living Mercifully With God’s Help (Zech 7:9; 2 Tim 2:24 25)

The fruit of the Spirit mentioned today in these verses cannot be picked off a tree to improve your spiritual physique as the super hero in the image presumes. You can’t make yourself good by your own will power or strength. It is God who creates the fruit of the Spirit in you. In your weakness, your Lord gives you the fruit you need to be the person God has created you to be. Trust God to help you. James 1:5 says we can ask the Lord for help, wisdom, and our God “will generously give.” And later James affirms that these perfect gifts are from above. James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…” So ask and it will be given to you. Our Father is generous and wants you to receive what you need to fulfill your calling on earth. And you can invite a friend who knows you fairly well to join you in praying for God to work His spiritual fruit in you.
