Not Our Talk but Our Walk

Mark 11:12-14 NRSV
“On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.”

We to say that Jesus cursed the fig tree. He withdrew the blessing of life. If the leaves were there, the fruit should have been there. But The tree was out of season for leafing or bearing fruit. It was early.  The tree was a many people,”Talking loud, saying nothing.” The fig tree represented Israel and they were not producing as they should have. 
We too are to produce in season - not running ahead of what God wants. But in season- when he says and how he says. And then we will fruitful for him. Everything we do should point back to him. God has blessed us in so many ways, and yes all we must do is be ready - by our walk and our talk. Love you all.
