You must die to live!

Genesis 40: 9 – 10
9 “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me, 10 and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

This dream interpretation of Joseph, reminded me of something, yesterday
Have you seen that all the department stores have all kinds of seed packets out, to start your summer plants?

I just love this time of year.
Spring is really an enjoyable time—that is if it ever gets here!

Sometimes the picture on the outside of the package, does not match the yielded outcome in the garden.
The only way the seed produces clusters of anything, is when the seed actually dies and is buried.

So I need to ask you all this morning: Are you the cluster of fruit after death, or are you still a seed, just sitting in the packet?
Do you look at all like the blossom, or haven’t you even died yet?

And yet that’s where a lot of believer’s are today.
They still haven’t taken a dirt nap. Maybe that’s why there still isn’t any fruit…

·         What is this text of scripture, trying to teach me?
·         How am I currently falling short of the mark?
·         What am I really willing to change?

·         How can I make this change, a habit in my everyday life?
