Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada.And one day, Ken and I drove through the flatlands of Camarillo, California. We were passing fields of strawberries, melons, and more and I tell you, everything looked so beautiful, we just had to stop at a produce stand! Wheeling down the aisles of fruit and vegetables, I marveled at God's abundant [and colorful] provision. I mean, God could nourish us on gray, bland pills; instead, he gives us a wonderful variety of things to eat! And when it comes to fruit, even more amazing is Galatians 5, where it says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” If today, God is 'tilling the soil of your soul' through a hard trial, stay rooted in the faith, watered by his Word, and energized by the Son—because a harvest of righteousness is coming, and your fruit will catch the attention of all around you!
