Dear Father, There is a perfect love story in Scripture that we often reference: The story of Ruth and Boaz. As easy as it may seem to discuss the divine purpose inherent in their union, we often overlook a key idea worth noting: though Boaz was wealthy, he was humble and kind; although Ruth was bereaved, she remained open hearted. Extreme wealth and painful loss are two realities that often change people, especially in their dealings with others. A man may naturally uphold higher standards because of his wealth, and a woman may likely shut the door to her heart after experiencing what Ruth endured. Yet, we see Boaz’s wealth and Ruth’s pain as the perfect blend for a love story, when in reality, in many cases, these would have been obstacles to such a story. This illustration reveals how even divine purpose may sometimes hang on the thread of a person’s disposition. I see how this applies in more areas than just love stories. It can be summarized this way: Ruth and Boaz possessed the fruit of the Spirit. I have learned that pain can either usher us into purpose or keep us from fulfilling it, and how justifiable it can seem when deep pain encourages rash behavior. Also, it may appear reasonable to think that wealth insulates a man from humility. We may not always see the struggle because we love how the story ends. But when I look at Ruth and Boaz, I see people who, against all odds, maintained the fruit of the Spirit. #LettertoGod #Fruitofthespirit #Wealth #humility #pain

🍎 It’s possible to look spiritually alive… but still lack real fruit. God is looking for transformation, not appearances 👉 Grow spiritually on Lordsbook #Lordsbook #SpiritualGrowth #FruitOfTheSpirit #FaithCheck #ChristianLife

🔥 Self-control: the fruit nobody talks about but every leader needs. We talk about vision, strategy, growth..... But what about the one thing that holds it all together? This week at the Better Business Round Table, we're continuing our series "Bearing Fruit That Lasts" and the topic is: SELF-CONTROL. Now, before you scroll past thinking this one doesn't apply to you… let's talk about what self-control actually looks like in business: 🔹 It's not saying yes to every opportunity (even the good ones) so you can stay focused on the best ones. 🔹 It's keeping your cool when a client tests your patience or a team member drops the ball. 🔹 It's choosing wisdom over impulse, whether that's a reactive email, or a financial decision made in the heat of the moment. 🔹 It's stewarding your time, your mouth, and your emotions so you lead from strength, not exhaustion. Here's the truth: Self-control isn't about being rigid. It's about being anchored. It's the fruit that protects all the others. Because without it, patience crumbles. Kindness gets overshadowed by frustration. And faithfulness gets derailed by distraction. As followers of Jesus, we know self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). But in business? It's a competitive advantage. 🗓 Join us this Thursday at 10AM (UK time) as we explore: ✅ What self-control looks like in the daily grind of leadership ✅ How to grow in it, especially when pressure is high ✅ Practical ways to let the Spirit lead your responses, not just your strategies Come ready to grow both spiritually AND strategically. 📍 Online (Zoom link in comments) 🗓 Thursday, 10AM UK time #BetterBusinessRoundTable #BearingFruitThatLasts #FruitOfTheSpirit #SelfControl

📘 Bible Trivia — January 21 ❓ Question: Which of the following is NOT listed as a fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23? #LordsbookDailys #BibleTrivia #Galatians52223 #FruitOfTheSpirit #BibleQuiz #GetInTheWord #DailyInspiration #FaithOnline #GrowInFaith

📖 Daily Devotion — January 21 🍐 The Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22–23 (NKJV) (But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...) The evidence of a Spirit-filled life is not performance—it’s fruit. Paul lists nine qualities that grow naturally when the Holy Spirit rules the heart. These aren’t things we manufacture; they’re results of remaining connected to God and walking in His grace. Just as fruit develops over time through nourishment, patience, and care, so spiritual fruit grows through surrender, prayer, and gratitude. Each trait—love, joy, peace, patience, and more—reflects the nature of Christ living within us. A fruitful life isn’t about perfection but about progress. When the Spirit leads, character changes, and our lives become a living testimony of God’s transforming power. Reflection Questions: 1. Which fruit of the Spirit do I need to cultivate more this season? 2. How can I stay connected to the Holy Spirit daily? 3. How does gratitude help me display the fruit of the Spirit with joy? Prayer: Holy Spirit, thank You for producing good fruit in my life. Help me to walk in step with You each day so that Your love, joy, and peace overflow in all I do. Amen. Practical Application: ● Focus on developing one fruit of the Spirit this week. ● Thank God for His patience as you grow. ● Look for opportunities to show kindness or gentleness to others. Takeaway Thought: Spiritual maturity is not measured by activity but by fruitfulness. #LordsbookDailys #DailyDevotion #Galatians52223 #FruitOfTheSpirit #LoveJoyPeace #GetInTheWord #FaithOnline #ChristianLiving #GrowInFaith #DailyInspiration
