S ~ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, "Look , for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down, why does it use up the ground? Luke 13:7
O ~ Ouch. Jesus told this parable of a fig tree just taking up space. Although our part is to be faithful, Jesus does speak a lot about being fruitful. He wants us to bear much fruit, and that our fruit would remain. I appreciate that he came to this tree for 3 years in a row, not just once. But after three years, there should be something!
A ~ When the Lord looks at my life, will he find fruit? I want to be faithful in SOAP, in prayer, in living a life that is conducive for spiritual fruit. Some thought is needed to see if I can find fruit. I want to make sure that what I call spiritual fruit, Jesus doesn't call dead leaves.
P ~ Jesus, I don't want to just use up space ~ I want to be fruitful for YOU! May my life yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness.
