“until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field. And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low. Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.”

All,

This stands out because Isaiah says, “until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high”. What is the source of all good? Can we produce good without the Holy Spirit? If we pursue things against the Spirit, will it succeed in the long run? Do branches have life apart from the vine? Please pray that we and our friends abide in the Vine every moment today. Please pray for Joe’s group as it’s forming.
