Interesting...

So I am pretty much stealing this from my friend Jonathan Barron but check this out...have you ever thought about WHY Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark 11?  The Bible clearly states that it was NOT the season for bearing fruit BUT...Jesus cursed it for not having fruit anyway.  I have read that story before but I guess I wasn't paying too much attention to what I was reading because something like that should have sparked my curiosity.  In 2 Timothy 4:2 Paul told us to "be prepared in season and out of season".  Could it be that Jesus wanted to illustrate a point?  He cursed the fig tree for not having any fruit when Jesus WANTED it...even though it was not the "time" for the tree to have fruit.  So after thinking about this I pretty much came to the conclusion that I have to be ready to produce the fruit the God wants when he wants it.  He doesn't want any of my lame excuses as to why I wasn't ready for this or that.  When God is searching the earth for someone he can work through or flow through...someone whose life is producing fruit...I hope that I am ready and living in such a way as to attract his attention towards me.   Thats it...something to think about...Love love...
