Lenten Meditation Final Week: God is Looking For Fruit

“He … cut out a winepress as well.
 Then he looked for a crop[.]”

                                                               Isaiah 5:2 (NIV)

God finished prepping His garden. He began looking for the fruits of his labor.

He’s still looking. God continues to prep each of us so we can bear good fruit. Scripture tells us—many times in the New Testament alone—that He still expects a good crop. Jesus saved us, but he saved us to bear good fruit. Check it out:
