Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

2 Corinthians 4:11-18 KJV
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

A tree never fully dies but we think it does. The tall trunk of a tree must come down and it leaves behind a stump that unless it is dug up or burned will most likely sprout new life unless killed by termites or other insects that attack and cause it to rot. A tree might be dormant because of lack of rain but their life still within the roots and trunk of the tree aiding the branches. A new tree might grow from a broken and disgarded limb but let' s not forget seeds it produce even if to tiny to notice by us humans, but birds spot gather, eat and drop. Lets not forget fruit trees that overflow not just for us humans but many kinds of creature that forge and live by. Of course the mighty wind pollinates along with bees and birds a tree as well. Though this tree as a external production it also has unseen production.

Faith and the Spirit both have internal, unseen production of faith and external priduction that leads to eternal production of faith. For every believer that walks for Jesus in his or her life of faith it is an external part of rising up internal to sprout or produce seeable. Inward the Spirit of God produce fruit outwardly in us. There is a part of us that will physically die but our Spirit is eternal that goes to be with God and the internal Spirit that produce Spiritual life and fruit in a person is the Holy Spirit that works in all believers to externally be seen though it produce temporal and eternal life by faith in Christ by His Spirit.

Dear Heavenly Father, may your Spirit arise in our hearts to producer of externally fruit in our life. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
