Meditate on God’s Word…and then act on it.

| Good fruit...from a good tree. |
When the crowds came to John for baptism, he
said, "You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee God's coming wrath?
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God.
Don't just say to each other, 'We're safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.'
That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from
these very stones. Even now the ax of God's judgment is poised, ready to sever
the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will
be chopped down and thrown into the fire." The crowds asked, "What
should we do?" John replied, "If you have two shirts, give one to the
poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry." Luke
3:7-11
What
should we do? John gives us good advice. Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins. Share.
Pretty simple. Although during this time of isolation…and a slow return to a
new normal…it may not be as easy to find ways to serve others. We can still
give monetarily and now as things open up, we can be more of service to others.
That phone is still there…waiting for you to use it to call others. What will
you do today to produce good fruit?
Prayer
