Opportunity and extra help to bear fruit

Morning: Psalms 61, 62; Revelation 14:14 – 15:8

Evening: Psalm 68:1-20; Luke 13:1-9

Some of you know I want snow so I can test my new snowblower! As I read the operator’s manual, I learn there are things I must do to avoid damage to the machine or myself. The Gospel makes similar observations about life ... it’s like: “wash your hands, wear a mask, keep your distance, or you know what may happen” ... God points us toward fruitful living. Many assume the vineyard owner in the parable is God, but isn’t God the gardener giving the fig tree an opportunity and some extra help to bear fruit? Us too?
