"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Proverbs 4:23

The two Holy Fruit posts serve as a significant lead-in to the whole of Vineyard Days, which begins with the opening post of the same title, three posts down. The story / study of the Shulamite Bride in the Song of Songs and Jesus' vineyard teachings of John 15 reads chronologically from Vineyard Days and following. May your spiritual growth be stimulated and your heart be moved to ever-deepening love with the Bridegroom King, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Holy Fruit

August 1, 2010 by Nancy Bentz 9 Comments

The last three weeks have been a platform for the Presence of God. I’m not sure how to even speak of the ways He has shown Himself to me, except to say He’s been very busy and very real. This morning Wayne and I shared companioned silence as we soaked in the Word, studied and […]

Holy Fruit II – Uncorked

April 30, 2011 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

This past week my husband and I have been on vacation. On Good Friday we drove to the Oregon coast for the trip to the ocean we had promised each other last year when we began to realize the length of the journey we were embarking upon. My breast cancer recurrence had made itself known […]

Vineyard Days

April 18, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

 Who believes what we’ve heard and seen?  Who would have thought GOD’s saving power would look like this?     The servant grew up before God–a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.  He was looked down on […]

Vineyard Days – Parched Fields

April 29, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

Vineyard Days has been mulling around inside almost since I began writing Desert Days two years ago. Though I was experiencing a ‘parched field’ season back then, there was a growing assurance through faith that I had not traveled thus far in my life to remain living in desert-like conditions.  If my desert was to […]

Vineyard Days – The Way of the Beloved

May 9, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 1 Comment

Who is there that does not love a good story? The most intriguing, I have found, is the one that draws us into the fabric of the narrative being woven. As if we have stepped into the very pages… Such is the Song of Solomon. It is the beautiful and challenging account of the Lord’s […]

Vineyard Days – The Shepherd’s Hut

May 19, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Truths are first clouds, then rain, then harvest and food. ~ Henry Ward Beecher ~ How perfectly matched was the Shulamite to her Shepherd Lover. Just as there was nothing in His appearance that would warrant a second look, neither was there in hers. She was swarthy – a colorful word for dark, black, brunette, […]

Vineyard Days – Two Suitors

June 3, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 2 Comments

The Shulamite was faced with a dilemma. That “something special” about her had captivated the attention of two suitors. On one hand, she had experienced her first love. More than that, her Shepherd Lover was her true and lasting love. They were meant for each other, and she would yet come to know what longing […]

Vineyard Days – Selah

June 25, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 4 Comments

Selah. That simple word in scripture that invites us to pause, weigh and value what we have read. Selah is a suspension of music – and here in Solomon’s Song, here in the vineyard, let’s  have a selah moment… The Word of God is rich in its truth. Like the Shulamite in Vineyard Days, the […]

Vineyard Days – Terroir

July 2, 2013 by Nancy Bentz Leave a Comment

The selah moment is concluded, unless this post throws you back into another one…which is often my hopeful intention! I sit in amazement at how the Lord continues to bring to my notice intriguing tidbits relevant to Vineyard Days. I go off on a search about one thing and hit pay dirt. Which now leads […]

Vineyard Days – Rock Piles of Potential

July 18, 2013 by Nancy Bentz 3 Comments

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. –  Antoine de Saint-Exupery Previously: Either way, we have a pile of rocks to deal with. What becomes of the rocks has everything to do with the image we bear within…  *** […]
