A Good Question

Have you ever stood in front of a closet overloaded with clothes and thought, “I have nothing to wear” or stood in front of an overfull refrigerator and thought, “I have nothing to eat”? Maybe you asked those questions as you were getting ready to go to church or getting ready to go off and do a good deed. Perhaps a better question to ponder for today is, “Am I bearing fruit for the Kingdom of God?” In Luke 3, John the Baptist says an easy way to answer the question is to look at what we are doing with our excess. “Whoever has two coats is to share with the one who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” Now, what should I wear today?
