¹⁵ "Be careful of false prophets. They come to you looking gentle like sheep, but they are really dangerous like wolves. ¹⁶ You will know these people by what they do. Grapes don't come from thorn bushes, and figs don't come from thorny weeds.¹⁷ In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.¹⁸ A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit.¹⁹ Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ In the same way, you will know these false prophets by what they do

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, our journey on earth is to be marked by gentleness and humility. There is no example greater than Jesus who left the glory and splendor of heaven to reside among sinful humankind. Though He was King of kings and Lord of lords He walked the lowly path of humility and laid aside His crown for a pauper’s life. He did not assume His rightful place but humbly rode on the back of a donkey’s colt. We’re so thankful that Jesus didn’t leave us before His mission was accomplished when the jubilant crowd turned into a jeering mob only days later. We long for the soon coming day when our faithful and true Savior who once rode on a donkey’s colt will appear in the heavens riding on a white charger leading the army of saints into their home eternal. What a day, glorious day, that will be! Amen.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
