Proverbs 27 18

Proverbs 27:18 King James Version (KJV)

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

Praise The Lord Everyone. I hope all of you are blessed under mighty hand of God.

Today as we see the scripture Proverbs 27 : 18 we will see in-depth meaning of the verse.

The main aim of this verse is to highlight the gift of Patience.

Fig Tree:

Let us understand the fig tree. It is one of the first plant that was cultivated by man. It took 3 to 5 years for a fig tree to grow.

So that means in order to get fruit form the fig tree one has to wait atleast 3 to 5 years and guard the fig tree.

Patience:

Again in the scripture it says those waiteth on his master shall be honoured. Earlier days slavery use to practice all over the world. But nowdays slavery doesn’t exist. Suppose if you are in a job and if you obey the boss and give respect to him. What will you get back is Honour not only form men but also from God.

So how long you have to serve the master of guard a fig tree. The answer is till you get fruits for your labor.

Patience is the gift from God. In order to get patience we should ask the Holy Spirit to fill us with the Spirit of Patience.

Prayer

Dear God thank you for the verse Proverbs 27:18. Fill us with the gift of Patience so that we can wait till our due time and we will harvest the fruit of our labor. Give us wisdom and strength. In Jesus name I Pray. Amen.
