BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit. Proverbs 27:18 a
 
Sometimes you just have to take Scripture super literally, so I did a Google search.
How to tend a fig tree:
  • Plant it in the sun
  • Water thoroughly when soil is dry
  • In winter, move tree indoors – keep it warm
  • Prune during the time of least growth (winter)
    • Cut away suckers
    • Cut away dead/diseased wood
    • Remove branches that do not come from fruiting wood
    • Consider cutting back the main branches considerably
So what if I were a fig tree?
  • I will plant myself where I can receive full SonLight
  • When my spirit is dry, I will draw from the well and thoroughly receive Christ’s living water
  • When the environment is threatening and cold, I won’t stay in the wrong environment. I will seek His shelter and refuge
  • When I’m not growing, it’s time to start pruning
    • Anything that sucks my spirit, my time, my energy
    • Anything that is not life-giving, life-enhancing or life affirming
    • Anything that is unfruitful, unproductive or pointless in my life
    • I will consider setting boundaries on myself, making sure I am Spiritually fed and not overextended – Jesus is the Savior, not me.
I pray that this speaks to you today. That you tend to yourself well. That you flourish and bear much fruit in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
