SOAP - August 16

Scripture
Luke 3:9 What counts is your life. Is it green and blossoming? Because if it's deadwood, it goes on the fire."

Observation
Having had a few days break, I can't believe we're straight back to more fire (SOAP - August 8). I want a fruitful life but can often lose sight of the fact that I have to sow to reap & that any harvest takes a while rather than yielding the instant success I so often crave.

Application
My time away at the Willow GLS has already set off a number of things in me that require more reflection & I intend to take stock during the remainder of a quiet August - recalibrating & embracing fresh revelations as best I can.

A filter of what's truly green & blossoming in my life will come in handy & almost certainly lead to some more deadwood for the fire!

Prayer
Lord - thank you for your blessings, including friends, safe travel & people diligently laying out & modelling your word.

It's great to be home; help me stay true to what you want to do in me during the coming days, even if it induces some necessary pain.

Thank you again - Jonathan
