There is a deep trust required to say, “Okay Jesus, I am going to put you first in my schedule.” But as you trust Him and abide in the vine, fruit grows! And this fruit that the apostle Paul is talking about isn’t produced based on how long you’ve been a Christian or by willing yourself to grow it. Bearing the fruit of the Spirit is a natural byproduct of spending time with Jesus. Reading the Bible, going to church, finding a Life Group, or listening to worship music on your commute—each of these is a practical way to abide in this season.

Through the life of Noah, we can see that to live by faith and for the “things not yet seen”, we must be willing to Trust God’s Word when He speaks, Trust God’s Process when the work is hard, and Trust God’s Timing when the wait seems long. As Corrie Ten Boom has been credited saying, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
