The Wrong Vine brings Death…

What up, what up good people and others?! How has your week been progressing? Hopefully smoothly 👀. Mine has been interesting but not in a bad way. Just a few stretching exercises taking place. ALL for my good though 😆.

I wanted to come share some juice I received from the word. Grab your Bibles and turn to 2 Ki 4:38-41.

In this chunk of scripture we see how eating from the wrong vine brings death 💀. Elisha had returned to Gilgal while there was a famine in the region. He decided that he would feed the prophets who had met up with him. So he sends out a servant to fetch some ingredients to cook. Little did Elisha know that his servant picked items from a “wild vine”. Verse 39 states “One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine and picked as many of it's gourds as his garment could hold. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.”

When we read further into verse 40 we see the men crying out because there was death in the pot. 🤯 Interesting, even death has a taste and can feed you. Thank God the prophets had there senses fine tuned and were able to perceive the taste. They had no knowledge of what the servant had gathered , nor where the servant had gathered from, yet they knew it didn't give life. They knew it was not the proper thing to eat.

After they cried out Elisha quickly resolves the situation with “meal” or “flour” and they were able to eat with no issue from the very same pot.

What I took away from this is that when we are properly connected to the true vine, as John 15:1 mentions being Christ, we know when we are eating something that brings life vs death. Both vines are able to produce a meal for you but only one will bring you nourishment.

Good people and others y'all have an amazing day. I'll chat ya some other time.

Love ya. Later.
