Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

  Day 36: Mark 11:20-26
The Withered Fig Tree

Trees don’t naturally wither so quickly from the root but when they do they never recover. It is not so obvious when the Jewish leadership would totally lose their authority but the fig tree was a picture that when it happened it would be final. However, the most important thing for Peter is that Jesus wanted him to become very certain that God would act decisively in response to believing faith. Only two months later Peter was living out what Jesus had taught him. (Acts 3:1-8)

Is God speaking to you about believing faith?

Are there any unresolved situations (mountains) surrounding you that need to be brought decisively into line with God’s will?
What can you do about it?
