My Soul Desires the Firstripe Fruit

Woe is me, for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, 

as the grapegleanings of the vintage:  there is no cluster to eat: 

 my soul desired the firstripe fruit. 

Micah  7 :1

   After church today, this verse kept coming to me.  

I think I know why.  We have churches all around us,

 but, don't feel God's presence in them.  

We long for the presence of God.  

That's one reason we go to church. 

 Our souls desire the firstripe fruit.

   We did feel God's presence in church this morning,

 and had a good time in fellowship afterward;

 but, we had to drive many miles into another county to do so.

   Last week the Pastor asked my husband,

 "After we're gone, do you think the younger men will pick up the reigns

 and keep the church going right?" 

 My husband said, "They will pick up the reigns,

 but, I'm afraid they might not go right, they might pull to the left."  

   I've posted before, if you are in a good Spiritual church, 

please guard it with all your heart, and fervent prayer.  

How quickly the world moves in, and moves God out of the services.  

We've seen this happen in most of the churches near us.  

Good people got caught up in politics, sports, movies, and worldly things,

and lost sight of the great commission. 

God is real, Jesus Christ is real, The Holy Ghost is real.

When we get saved, they set up their abode in our hearts.

At the end of our days, they will receive us into glory. 

Until then, my soul desires the firstripe fruit.   

Have a Blessed Day,

Trisha
