Week 8 - The Journey Day 4
"Jesus said to them in reply, "Amen, I say to you, if you have faith and do not waver, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will be done." Matthew 21:21
The power of the tongue! The Son of man, spoke to the fig tree and said: "Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went over to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again." And immediately the fig tree withered." Matthew 21:19. Jesus as man spoke these words and it came to pass, our words have power!
I was traveling this week and a man was being escorted thru security because he left his drivers license at home. He said to me:" why do I always do what my wife says I do?" Indicating that his wife says he leaves things behind. Our words have power. They are used to build up and to tear down. Jesus talks about our faith, with faith we can move mountains. Did this women move mountains not in the way Jesus is referring to but she did move her husband.
While we are listening to God, hear all that is being said, our own words that are spoken make things happen. Be attentive to your heart for these are the words that we speak. "By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?" Matthew 7:16
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, You speak in many different ways and all are with love. I thank You for for this past week, You are moving mountains and we are learning. I thank You for the grace that is all around us, if we are attentive to Your voice. Bless this day Lord, keep us safe and out of harms way. Blessings to the faithful that are producing the fruit of salvation and the growth that is coming. In our struggles of life we are being formed into Saints, we pray. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Watchful Defender of Christ, Pray for us.
