DAY THIRTY – Tuesday, March 28, 2023
Mark 11:12-14, 20-25
As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus sees a fig tree. He is hungry so he goes over to the tree only to discover the tree has no fruit. It is not the season to bear fruit. Then Jesus says, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.”
When I first read this I was startled. Why would he say this? Was he angry? But isn’t Jesus human too?
The next day the Disciples ask about the withered tree. Jesus made the bare fig tree into a lesson. Have faith in God. Whatever you ask God for when you pray, believe you will receive it and you will have it. Also, when you pray if you have a grudge against anyone, forgive them. God will then forgive you for any of your wrong doings.
Prayer is a powerful thing.
