Branch of the Lord

Scripture Isaiah 4:2 In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped.

Observation: We as Christians are now the branch of the Lord. Jesus tells us if we will abide in him that He will graft us into the vine. He has set us apart to produce fruit and to be excellent and appealing to the world around us, but instead of grafting into the Lord most of us have blended into this world and have become unnoticed and ineffective.

Application: We need to be separated from this world and to be a light to others. Our lives should be different and appealing to the world and point the way to Jesus. If we do not the world has no hope, but if we do what God has called us to do, we can bring others with us and they will not have to perish.

Prayer: My Lord it is so easy to blend in, help me stand out in glory and honor to you. Help me be a light to this dark place and to accomplish the purpose you have created me for.
