Verse 18 of Proverbs 27 was the section that spoke to me today. It compared taking care of a fig tree and getting fruit to taking care of a master’s property. It is something that bears fruit over a matter of time.

I started thinking of what God gives us here on Earth…how results are not always obtained over night. Our problem is with patience…to finish our race with endurance. We may not grasp the eternal fruit we will one day partake of when we are with Christ, but we trust our Master.
