Good Crop
The Bible often uses the illustration of land and crops. Land that produces good crop is blessed while land that only produces thorns and thistles is the harvest only to be burnt. We in turn are called to produce good crop and not thorns and thistles, which is the good crop of faithfulness to Christ, godly character, help and support for others. A self-centered, proud and godless life bears only thorns and thistles and its destiny is to be burnt. Let us remember that we are known by our fruit, and, as James points out in his letter, faith without works is dead.
Prayer: Lord God, thank you that you want us to bear good crop, good fruit. Let us through the power of your Spirit and the word of God live lives pleasing to you, which is full of good fruit. Let us keep away from leading self-centered, egoistic lives, which only bear thorns and thistles that has no value but is to be burnt. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
