"There was a man who planted a vineyard, he surrounded with a fence, dug a wine press and built a tower" - Matthew 21.33
life that the Lord gives us is like a vine. It is not a gift ready to be consumed; life must be cultivated, the cure, for it gives the best of itself.
The hedge is protection, a frame surrounding the vineyard. It is the Word of God. Her respect and ensure implementation of living in harmony with the Lord, as the people of Israel in its time. Beyond it is to risk venture where the love of God is not. It is to trust only themselves.
The tower is an opportunity to get a little closer to God through prayer. It is also the high place which we will bring a different perspective on our existence, because as long as we stay over the daisies, it only sees a blocked horizon ahead. We need to elevate ourselves, to judge our lives and improve, to be more in harmony with our Lord.
The press is what allows you to extract juice from grapes. But before the press, we must select, sort and select only the best, to make the best wines. In our life, it is also necessary to make selections, review what we weigh and try to change it. So, in our confidence in God, we can enjoy each day as a perfect gift as a gift that our Lord did.
In this world, we are the laborers in the vineyard of the Lord today. We work in His Kingdom today already. By living in accordance with the given word, changing the way we look at our life and taking each moment the best possible we cultivate the vine that is our life.
