best grapes in the drought

so did you know that in a season of drought that is when the best grapes are produced? you say hummmm - yea well me too. - apparently when you water a little bit every now and than the roots tend to go down then come up go down then comes back up - you see the roots are trying to get to the water - so in a season of drought the roots keep going deeper and deeper to get to the source of water deep within. - WOW - do you see it - the spiritual application is amazing.
if we just go to church because it's sunday and that's what we do we are nourished but we leave and do nothing with it - we might pick up our Bible one or two times during the week say a little prayer here and there but all of it is never enough to allow our roots in Jesus to go deep - the roots just stay near the top because we've never had a saturation of water -but when our Lord allows the difficult trials you know the really hard ones to come our way (drought) -he has done this to us so we will dig deep for the source of the water - in our desperation prayers in our urgent reading of the Word - our calls to friends for prayer - everything we do during those really hard times (our drought) it is then that our roots are going deeper and deeper and always the fruit that comes forth is sweeter than before.
so if you feel like you are in a drought - praise Jesus through it because it is there to bring forth the really really yummie grapes.

remember behind every thorn in our lives is love - because everything has been in our lives by our Lords permission. and His heart for us is always love ALWAYS!!!

goodnight - keep chasing righteousness
