Thought For Today

On the following day, when they (Jesus and disciples) came from Bethany, He (Jesus) was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if He could find anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And His disciples heard it. Mark 11:12 -14

Interesting scripture Lord. Mark is an interesting writer. What are we to learn from this Lord.

First I see You were like we are when we are hungry. Often we are very impatient. We want to eat something right away. Our patients often wear very thin if we are at a restaurant and they take too long.

Seems I see this impatience with the fig tree. There was nothing there to eat.

Perhaps this is to show us that You understand how we feel when things don’t go our way. Things didn’t always go Your way on this earth either. Perhaps this is where Your understanding and Your unconditional love comes into play for us Lord.

Thank You for Your love for us in spite of our shortcomings. You love us unconditionally and we thank You.

Thank You Lord.
