Isaiah 11:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹ There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
² And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
⁵ Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

The branch cannot produce anything but what the root supplies. If we are the branches of the True Vine this is what is expected to be produced. These attributes listed above are available to us thru Christ our Lord. Christ is our access. Truth is the soil that this root is planted in and love is the nourishment that brings life to the branches.

How many different ways must God depict this life in Christ in order for us to understand this relationship between God who provides for every need, Christ who demonstrated it and the Holy Spirit who manages it in us?

If we trust and obey, God’s will is manifested in us and He will be glorified. We worry too much about results. We see ourselves thru earthly eyes rather than how God sees us. We strive to win a victory that has already been won for us.

2 Corinthians 3:3 English Standard Version (ESV) And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
