Thought For Today

And He (Jesus) told this parable:  “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.  And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none.  Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?’  And he answered him, ‘Let it alone, sir this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure.  And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'”  Luke 13:6 – 8

Lord it is so interesting that you never went on to explain what You meant by this parable.  I, like those listening, could only give it our own interpretation.  Are we right?  Are we seeing what You wanted us to see?  Perhaps each of us view this differently.  I would speculate that since the multitude that was listening had not seen what would happen in Your life they didn’t understand it as I see it today.

Thank You Lord that when You left this earth You gave us Your Holy Spirit to instruct us.

Thank You that when we read Your word and seek Your answers our walk with You increases and we become closer to You.

Thank You for the joy in knowing You and learning new truths when we stop and listen.

Thank You for Your scripture today that tell me You are patient with us and continue to call us to Yourself.

All gifts of Your unconditional love Lord and I thank You.

Thank You Lord.
