Dear God-tracker
God-tracking results in good produce from pruned
branches
On
more than one occasion Jesus used a vineyard or workers of a vineyard as the
subjects of his parables. Growing up in Israel, he would have well understood
the finer principles associated with nurturing the vine to produce the best and
most succulent grapes. Jesus knew how important it was to yearly cut back a
vine so that it will both grow well and produce better fruit.
Jesus said, “I am the true
vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in
me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
Then later he said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” By this analogy Jesus
is referring to vineyard husbandry, which includes pruning the plants each year
so that they produce better fruit. Just as a vineyard keeper would prune the
vines so the Father cuts away the dead wood or malformed branches of the Vine
so as that the Vine will produce a better produce.
You may feel as though you’re
being pruned right now. There may be circumstances or situations in your life
that have died off or become malformed through the course of time. These could
include a bad habit, a wrong relationship or a wrong involvement. God could be
pruning your vine today, removing apathy, indifference or pessimism. Whatever
it is that you feel is being cut off, you can be sure that you will not be left
naked or reduced in any way. Jesus said that God cuts off the branches that
bear no fruit so that those that do, will produce even more fruit. Be
encouraged, dear God-tracker, that God is enabling your life. He is removing
those things that are time wasters or soul destroyers. God will never cut back
anything that is to your benefit. And believe me when I tell you that, unless
God cuts out these dead things from your life, you will not be productive. God
desires for you to produce good results in your studies, your career, your home
life and your church life. Your Father is pruning you so that you will produce
good fruit in your relationships, your work and your commitments. Embrace the
pruning of the vineyard Keeper so that your harvest will be plentiful!

ANNOUNCING:
God-tracking
Through the Year
This eDvetional, trACker has been
impacting many lives over the course of its 11-year history. The devotional is
read by hundreds of people by email, social media and dedicated blogs as well
as publishing sites around the world.
To celebrate the first decade of
this weekly publication I am in the process of compiling an annual devotional
book called, GodTracking Through the Year.
We hope to launch the book in January 2015.
As a regular subscriber to trACker
we would like to ask you to help toward publishing GodTracking Through the Year. There is naturally a cost involved to
do this. If you feel you would like to help make this project a reality then
please do check in at PayPal via the link at http://godtracker.co.uk/ to make a

You did not choose me, but I

Bless all my efforts
to serve you and cause me to produce good fruit for your kingdom
”Dear
Father I know there are areas of my life that need to be pruned back and I
submit them to you today. I repent of those things that are grievous to your
Spirit and seek to live a productive life by your purposes for me. Lord, I open
myself to your pruning. I ask that as you cut away the dead and malformed
branches so that I will produce better product in my life. Bless my output.
Bless all my efforts to serve you and cause me to produce good fruit for your
kingdom; fruit that will bless me and those around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
