[S] Isaiah 5:8,10 (NIV) --
Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land.
A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine; a homer of seed will yield only an ephah of grain."
[O] What's sad about this picture is how rich these people are materially and yet so bankrupt and dry their souls are. On the outside the spacious land filled with houses and grape vines seem so rich and abundant but under hood is nothing but emptiness (nothing).
[A] As you may have heard, God is in the business of making something out of nothing; yet I am so great at making nothing out of something. So, I must keep my eyes on God's principles and follow it closely if I want my and my family members' lives to be fruitful spiritually. I hear about so many "ways" and programs to achieve this but I must realize the only way is to follow His ways. I sure don't want to be alone after pursuing all of these paths thinking that I would end up with much.
[P] Dear Father, I want to pursue Your ways in every aspects of my life in order that I would produce the fruits You intended for my life to bear -- abundantly. Please continue to prune my life and nurture it with Your word daily so I would draw closer to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
