The Withered Fig Tree

Mark 11:20-25 (New International Version)


20In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

21Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.

23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."



Life may be unfair, but God is always faithful. Having faith = holding onto the faithfulness of God. The measure of a man's faith is by his knowledge of God. A man that knows God so well knows that all his prayers will be answered.

I need to be revived. Help me to know you more, Lord. More of you and less of me.
