In Mark 11, we find Jesus and the disciples leaving the city of Bethany, hungry. They happen upon a fig tree that has no figs on it to eat because it was not the season for fruit. To show His great power, Jesus told the tree that no one would ever eat from it again. The next day, when the fig tree that Jesus cursed was seen by the disciples, they were surprised to see that it had dried up! Jesus, in all His holy power had caused the tree to dry up and die – just by speaking to it!
Jesus then told the disciples to “have faith in God.” He told them that if we are faithful and humble in heart, and believe that what we say will happen, even we can tell a mountain to move and it will move. This is what great faith in Jesus can do!
When was the last time that you went to Jesus in prayer, asking for something in faith?
Prayer: Jesus, I thank you for wanting what is best for me. Help me to remember to have faith in You and Your power. Thank you, Jesus, for hearing me when I pray. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
