Blaine Rogers @Mark 11:12-14; 20-21 Day 5 Read Matthew 3:10. Israel had not always been that way. There had been a time when they were fruitful and honoring to the Lord. Now, they are in rejection and hypocrisy and their fate is sealed. They are cursed and they will be destroyed. I would just remind you that the same God Who can take a lost sinner, save his soul and bless his life, is the same God Who will judge that life. If we will honor Him, obey Him and serve Him, He will bless us in wonderful ways. If we refuse to honor, obey and serve Him, He will bring His chastisement into our lives. The same Lord Who can fill us and use us can also leave us dry and empty. He has the power to bless us and He has the power to curse us, this depends upon our willingness to bear fruit for His glory!
