Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning and

deed. We're picking up with day three of our A time to sew devotional in the Bible app.

There's a link to that in the description of the podcast. You guys want to fall along with us.

And as always I'm going to read the scripture that Tori's going to pick up with the devote.

Let's do it. The scripture is Luke chapter 6 verses 43 through 45 and it says this,

a good tree can't produce bad fruit and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. A tree is identified

by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thorn bushes and grapes are not picked from bramble

bushes. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart and an evil person

produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your

heart. The devotional is titled flourishing seeds and it says, your future harvest depends on

the seeds you plant in your life today. Paul tells us in Galatians 5.22 that the fruit of the spirit

is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

To live a life that reflects Christ, you have to intentionally plant seeds that will produce

that type of fruit. Ruth is one biblical character who reminds us of the significance of the seeds

we plant in our lives and how the decisions we make will shape our futures and even those of

our families. After Ruth's husband died, her mother-in-law Naomi prepared to move back to the land

of Judah. She urged her daughters-in-law Ruth and Orfa to return home to the land of their people.

Ruth refused saying, where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will

be my people and your God, my God. In this instance, Ruth sows the seed of faithfulness. In Ruth

chapter 2, we start to see some of the harvest of her faithfulness while she is gleaning left of

her grain in a field. Boaz says to her, may the Lord repay you for what you have done.
