Hosea 10
Not all growth is good.
Israel was a spreading vine. It grew. But it wasn’t good.
In its growth it became wild with many branches (Jer 2:21). It developed branches that became thick and it began to look like a tree (Ez 15:2).
The vine was never planted to be a tree.
Some today want to become something they were never created to be.
They long to be somebody other than they are. They seek applause from man, they hunger for the stage, they promote themselves, tirelessly striving to be noticed.
Be still. Be who you are planted to be. A vine.
Let God produce through you fruit that is quality.
Quality not quantity.
