'Fruitfulness Is Determined By God.'
Isaiah 5:2.
a) The Beloved had a Vineyard on a hill.
b) He:-
1-Dug it up.
2-Cleared out its stones.
3-Planted it with the choicest vine.
4-Built a watchtower in the midst of it.
c) He also made a winepress.
d) He expected the field to bring forth good grapes.
e) But it brought forth wild gapes.
(This QT reminds me that Fruitfulness Is Determined By God)

'Be In The Will Of God.'
Ephesians 1:1.
a) This Letter was written by Apostle Paul.
b) He was an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
c) By the Will of God.
d) It was written to the Saints and the Faithful People in Christ Jesus.
e) Who dwelt in Ephesus.
(This Second one exhorts me to Be In The Will Of God)

Chris.
Sometimes we are like this Beloved in Isaiah 5:2. We really do our best before God and men. We read that the Beloved planted the Vineyard with the choicest vine, we may do something similar or equivalent. We take all the necessary steps to look after it well, but then it fails. How do we respond? We need to remember that our Fruitfulness Is Determined By God.
