Matthew 21:18-27
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city,
he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way,
he came to it, and found nothing thereon,
but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever.
And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it,
they marvelled, saying,
How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Verily I say unto you,
If ye have faith, and doubt not,
ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree,
but also if ye shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
it shall be done.
22 And all things,
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing,
ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple,
the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching,
and said,
By what authority doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
I also will ask you one thing,
which if ye tell me,
I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John,
whence was it?
from heaven,
or of men?
And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say,
From heaven; he will say unto us,
Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say,
Of men; we fear the people;
for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said,
We cannot tell.
And he said unto them,
Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Today's Prayer...
Dear Father in heaven,
We thank you that you are our Father and that we may
have you with us. We thank you that we can know you
are leading us by your hand.
Give us your Spirit of understanding so that we may always
see your mighty and powerful hand guiding us on all our ways.
Help us where we fall short. Help us, for we are weak and are
often in situations where we cannot help ourselves.
But you are strong.
You give light to our hearts.
Through the Savior, Jesus Christ,
we can direct our lives cheerfully, joyfully,
and patiently toward the great goal set before us your children,
and before the whole world.
In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name
Amen
