The Sour Grapes Turned To New Wine

Do you feel like life has taken a few punches out of you and things just seem sour?
I was reading through my journal and saw so much heartache. It was such a brutal time for me with moving in a little camper, dealing with Dave’s health and emotions, and simply at my wits end.

Why the quick memory? 

Well I wanted to set up this Vinedresser Word I wrote back then with hope.

One piece of the Word I have taught is in Amos 9:11. It’s about the repair, restore and rebuild process.

It his me this morning that the REBUILD process is before me. I’m not busy but determined with patience to tackle Substitute teaching (secret agent for the Kingdom says God to me), and a new venture with training in business.

But what I just saw this morning was the end result of the rebuild. In verse 13: the Word mentions the reaper will be overtaking by the plowman, “New Wine”, planting vineyards and drinking new wine.

So no matter where you are right now, I believe you can watch how God will bring you to the rebuild process of your life as we are about to enter a new year.

But will you go through the repair and restore process.

Here is the Vinedresser from a time after a smash in the face a year ago.


Listen to the Vinedresser

I see the travail of your heart, the mental strain and a soul filled with sadness and despair.

Listen beloved, as the years pass with your share of dejection and disappointment, I am here to sustain you. 

Even in your latter years, when the gray and ache in your body is more pronounced, know I am He who will carry you,  sustain you and rescue you.

When you feel the deep sorrow and the ache cutting your heart into pieces, take courage dear one. I will sustain you through the drama of the trauma, the dark nights of your soul, the sadness of missing loved ones, the gap in connection with family.

Cast your burden on Me. When you feel the crush of events around you, be not moved. My power is made perfect in weakness.

Be not dismayed by the loud ruckus trying to fray your nerves into a million pieces. 

My grace is always sufficient child. I comfort you so you can comfort others with the same care I give to you. Do you see this amazing rebound effect with my Love and Grace?

You go through the scorching fire and come out with renewed hope. You pass through the high turbulent waters and come out above learning how to surf (abide)!

“You become the breaker anointed messenger carrying the truth of my promises to break the lies and deceit of the evil one off those around you.

I have made you My treasure and will guard you, and carry you.  I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

So lay down the worries, the strive to fix everything in your own strength.

Say no to striving and yes to abiding….in the Vine.

Love the Vinedresser (On Amazon)

So from this crush for me is coming New Wine out of my own Winepress of a very, very hard year.

If you like, I’ll be sure to continue the new adventures with you.
