PRAYER MOMENT
FIGS FROM THISTLES
Pause. “Be still
and know that I am God.”
Reading. “Can people
pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?” (Matt 7:15-20)
Reflection. These
are not metaphors city people would think of. But Jesus was rooted in the
countryside of Galilee and he knew about grapes and figs, thorns and thistles.
They provided simple sayings of everyday. Good people are incapable of bad
actions. They make mistakes. But if their heart is right thy will never do
lasting harm.
Prayer. Lord, give
us a pure heart so that all our thoughts, words and actions will begin with
you, draw life from you and bear fruit in you. Amen
