I quote:
The Lord is kind and merciful.
Merciful and gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so surpassing is his kindness toward those who fear him

Today's readings focus on the benefits of trusting Our Father's invitation, to allow Him to lead us through our life.
Fruit trees, and their harvest feature prominently throughout Holy Scripture, teaching us that in due season we will receive the rewards of our faithfulness observing The Father's guidance.
We can only know Our Father through our relationship with Him. There is no other way. The Father encourages us to trust Him, allowing Him to guide us through our life's journey of self discovery. Our fear of God is one of respect, and trust in His wise counselling.... in all matters.
In the Biblical story of Moses conversing with Our Father through the burning bush event, there is the understanding that God decides how He will reveal His presence in our life. Moses chooses to trust God, by doing all that is asked of him. Our Father reciprocates by supporting Moses in his quest to liberate the Israelite slaves from The Pharoah's ownership.
Our faithfulness in Our Father's friendship is always rewarded with our trust growing, and deepening in response to The Father's ongoing support leading us through His plan for our life.
Trees that blossom forth, produce fruit reflecting all that they are created to reveal, in due season.
The symbolic meaning of harvest reveals God’s provision for us; also enabling us to benefit those whom Our Father introduces to us to assist. While we celebrate a harvest season just once a year, we experience the spirit of harvest every day we remain in relationship with Our Father. Planting for the harvest remains a daily sacrifice of self, to serve The Father's plan.
Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;~ 2 Corinthians 9:10
