Scripture Reading
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.
Reflection
Trees do not produce fruit by straining — they produce it by being rooted in good soil and getting enough light. Righteousness is less about performance and more about rootedness. A life oriented toward God, regularly nourished by prayer and community and Scripture, naturally produces things that give life to others. Tend your roots; the fruit will follow.
Prayer for Today
God of Victory, in the name of Jesus, we come before You right now and pray for spiritual growth in Your church. We ask that the wind of the Holy Spirit will fall upon new coverts and members within every congregation and that the spirit of true evangelism be released. Father, clothe us with power from on high in all that we do for Your Kingdom and for the growth of Your church. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen.
