Scouting the Divine
SHEEP
The imagry of sheep are all throughout scripture. Nearly 700 references to sheep in Gods word.
John 10:1 - 5
The shepherds voice draws the sheep in.
The shepherd knows the details of the sheep.
Not only does the sheep know the shepherds voice but the shepherd knows the voice of the sheep.
HONEY
Nearly 70 references to honey in scripture
Exodus 3:8a
A beehive is like the body of Christ. Each person works together for a purpose and each person has to do their job.
VINE YARD/ WINE
Hundreds of stories of wine and vineyards.
John 15
Pruning
A pruning tool is small and sharp. It is precise not general.
Abiding
It's not until the 4 th year that the first grapes come fourth, 7th year the first wine and 17th year that a vine financially produces profit.
A vine is planted in rocky soil to force the vine to push forth down deep into the ground.
We should all scout the imagry of the Divine!

You did a great job on the "Pursuit of Hapiness" (Oct 4 on HHI Campus). Your prep. was evident and your heart to share the truths of Christ clear.
Thanks for the work you are doing.
