"Now let me sing of my friend, my beloved's song about his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; He spaded it, cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines; Within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press. Then he waited for the crop of grapes, but it yielded rotten grapes.
The vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, the people of Judah, his cherished plant; He waited for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for justice, but hark, the outcry!" Isaiah 5:1-2, 7
Isaiah 5:1-7 - The Outcry. What produces good grapes? The ground has been prepared, good fertile ground, stones removed, choices vines planted and yet it produces rotten grapes. Do we take all that we have for granted? Do we appreciate a roof over our heads, water on demand, God who loves us, ears that listen? We are living within very interesting times and we are each called to produce good fruit. When we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and do not concern ourselves with the whims of the times, we are being fed by God's Grace. If we chose to ignore God then we will be caught up in the turmoil, battered around and eventually there will be an outcry for God. Sing of your friend, Jesus. "The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b

What is God saying to me: You are understanding My friendships, it is available for all who listen to My voice.
Dear Lord God, I Love Your teaching and preparations You give to those that love You. Even in the challenges of the day, there You are, at the ready to help and give good direction. Father, my words do not give You justice but I pray my actions will this day. Thank You for Your graces, for the blessing of air in my lungs, for purpose in all that I do and for the hope that I have in my heart. Thank You Father for answering prayer and for preparing the ground for the harvest, may those who are crying out, fix their eyes upon You and live within peace, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
