Fruitfulness In and Out of Season

[S] Ezekiel 47:13 --
12 "By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."

[O] This description of this river is like the Spirit of God flowing through this world where on its river banks are abundance of life and fruit continuously (every month).  This spiritual fruit does not come in and out of season just like the fruits we enjoy eating but it's always available as long as that river of Spirit flows through from the sanctuary.  What a wonderful and beautiful picture this paints in my mind.

[A] I'd like to think that I bear the spiritual fruit in my life as I continue to strive to be planted by this river of Spirit however I tend to cut my season short because constantly trying to bear much fruit is a lot of work.  I realized from this passage that all I need to do is to plug into the river and be nourished by its abundant flow of the Spirit because then my life will have no other option but to be fruitful in and out of season.

[P] Dear Jesus, I long to be plugged into Your river of Spirit flowing out of Your sanctuary.  May my heart be pursuing after Your word so that my heart would drink up the refreshing Spirit directly from the river.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
