LIVING IN EXTRA TIME
When I lost everything, I went from a man of great
importance to a man whose presence was disgusting to others. I couldn’t help
but wonder – what exactly did I do wrong? How did I offend God that He had to
punish me this way?
Many a time when the tides are against us, we classify it as
punishment from God and not a result of our own action.
Jesus’s parable of the fig tree gave us an insight about the
mercies of God. A worker ask his boss to give a particular fig tree more time
for it to produce after being fruitless for a long time. Like the fig tree, we have
not been fruitful but Jesus is still asking for more time for us to be fruitful…
delaying God’s judgement.
God is merciful, He has given us more time to turn to Him
and be fruitful. A choice to turn to Him and live fruitfully must be made.
Read Luke 13:6-9
