Bearing Good Fruit

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the man
 Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
 Nor stands in the path of sinners,
 Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
  But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
 And in His law he meditates day and night.
  He shall be like a tree
 Planted by the rivers of water,
 That brings forth its fruit in its season,
 Whose leaf also shall not wither;
 And whatever he does shall prosper.

Why all should work?

That God might be glorified.

Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

John 15:8
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Titus 3:8
This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Thoughts 

.The name of Jesus is a never-failing passport to our prayers.  In that name a man may draw near to God with boldness, and ask with confidence.  God has engaged to hear him. - J. C. Ryle
