Mark 11 - All Leaves & No Fruit

Picture
Background Photo: Remedy Road

Mark 11

The cursed fig tree.
All leaves, but no fruit.
Beckoning, but not delivering.
Promising, but not producing.


All leaves and no fruit.
Sacrifices without submission.
Feasts without faith.
Rituals without repentance.
Offerings without obedience.
Law without love.
Activity without abiding.
 
All leaves and no fruit.
Hustle and bustle or religious activity, but dead in devotion.
Glitz and glamor on the surface, but rotting within.
Impressive speak, but empty words.
Center of religious activity, but Christ nowhere near the core.
Proud preaching, but accolade seeking.
 
All leaves and no fruit.
Pretense over purity.
Lofty words over lowly service.
Clinched fists over outstretched arms.
Self-glorification over silent submission.
Religion over relationship.
 
God, let me never be only leaves that look promising on the outside, but are fruitless. Give me clean hands, a pure heart, an abiding desire, a genuine love, and an abundantly fruit-filled life all for Your glory alone.

    I almost always read the David Guzik Study Guide on each chapter from the Blue Letter Bible as I reflect on the daily chapter. I encourage you to check it out as well for a quick overview and deeper understanding of each chapter.   www.blueletterbible.org
