Writing Matthew 12 (Jan. 16, 2023
Good morning, I am a bit slow this morning, but I am here. As I am writing verses 33-37, I keep in mind Jesus is speaking to the scribes and Pharisees, but I can’t help but always think of myself. If I am a tree what am I producing? What words are coming out of my mouth? Back in late November and December, I had realized that I had been slipping down a slope, my thoughts were more negative, I was gossiping more, my words were not seasoned with salt. I felt the bitterness of the world overtaking me. I allowed things that I could not control to control me. I knew I had to clean myself up. I knew the only way was though the Word of God, through Jesus. My focus is on to put more positive things inside of me, changing the things in me that I can control, and realizing the things I cannot control. This is not always easy. As my mind begins to think on things that I cannot control, I have to refocus, pray, change what I am doing. Only through Christ can I produce Good fruit.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
