Bible Question:
John 15:8 (NASB) "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples." The desire is to bear much fruit! The question is, if we find ourselves in a place where not much fruit or perhaps no fruit is being produced that perhaps it is God's way of telling us to move on? Steve |
Bible Answer: Steve- generally speaking this might be the case. Deeper consideration of why there is little or no fruit would require evaluating our own obedience and participation. By "move on" do you mean physically leave on place and arrive at another or are you referring to moving out of one activity (such as a particular ministry) and beginning something new? Of course, there might be the case where both are true. When things appear to be idle it may be time to move on. Then again, it may be time to exercise patient's while we wait for God's direction. Sometimes I believe the fruit might not even be obvious or even discernable to us. Just my thoughts on your thoughts. Jeff |
