Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-21

Matthew 12:33 (NKJV) 33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

A tree is known by its fruit.

These are words to teach us and help us discern the good from the bad.

Jesus shared this to let us know that He can’t always be there to protect us and save us from people that have bad fruit.

He shows us what to watch out for.

When we see someone with bad fruits, and they are okay with those bad fruits, that can tell us a lot. We need to see these things and move very carefully before getting into a relationship or friendship with them. Bad trees bear bad fruit.

Now, no one is perfect, so there is a balance.

We have to be careful not to walk away from those people that have bad habits. They may be sincerely trying hard to change

Sometimes it takes time to see the fruit from the changes they’re trying to make.

There is a difference.

The difference between the two types is that one will love what they are doing and couldn’t care less about changing.

The other will be asking for advice, asking for prayer and trying to make the right changes. They just are struggling because they haven’t’ quite gotten a handle on it yet, and they fall short at times.

Pray for those today that are sincerely trying to change the fruit that they bear, but may be struggling at times.

James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Our prayers are powerful through the blood of Jesus!
