The Ax is at the Root

Scripture: Luke 3:9 The ax is already at the root of the tree and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Observation: Sometimes I can stop and think of things I’ve done that produced good fruit. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. There are more times that my thoughts are negative, my actions not Godly, my truth less than truthful. What is God going to do with a tree that has a little good fruit, but more bad. I pray he does what was said in the parable and dig around me, fertilize and watch to see if I produce more good fruit.

Application: Work on producing good fruit. Think of my actions thoughts and deeds and make sure good things come from it. Serve more, help and love others.

Prayer: My Lord care for me that I will bear a harvest of good fruit for you.
