He told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree
and all the trees. When they sprout leaves,
you can see for yourselves and know that summer
is near. Even so, when you see these things
happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away
until all things have taken place. Heaven and earth
will pass away, but my words will not pass away."
Luke 21:29-33
When I go through disturbing and uncertain times in my life, I take hope in knowing the Kingdom of God is near. That God is with me in sorrow and in joy.
Just as the fig tree bears fruit every year, God's promises, His faithfulness and love, never leave us. He is true and certain. God's word offers us a rock on which to stand when the forces of evil in our culture threaten us and rock our world.
My prayer is to be part of the kingdom that Jesus is inaugurating. I want to belong, and to make it my life's work to spread his kingdom. Then, no matter when he comes, I will be ready.
For my Bible journaling today, I used Polychromos colored pencils to draw and color my image of the fig branch. For my journaling, I used Micron PN pigma pens.
Blessings,
