In Matthew 21, Jesus encounters a fig tree on the road that has leafs but no figs. He curses the tree, which withers and dies before the disciple's astonished eyes. Jesus’ curse on the fig tree powerfully demonstrated His authority to judge everything and everyone within creation. While appearances can deceive people, God knows the truth. He knows if what people see on the outside truly reflects what is in your heart. God rightfully expects His people to bear fruit that comes from a heart that belongs to Him. For God’s children, bearing fruit offers evidence of genuine faith. Just as a fruit tree should naturally bear fruit, the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit flows naturally from a redeemed heart. God rejects fruitless religion but empowers obedient faith. Surrender to God not only removes the penalty for sin but invites you into a fruitful and flourishing life.

Are you someone who seeks to fit in – to go along with the crowd? Swimming upstream feels uncomfortable and unsafe to us. But what if the path of least resistance and minimal risk is the greatest gamble of all? How can we be sure that the crowd is right? Jesus came into the world from heaven’s glories, not to fit into the world but to redeem it. We should not be surprised that His way is not the path chosen by the majority. What Jesus valued and what He calls us to love most will not resemble what the world accepts and applauds. Our God defines what is true, right, and most honorable. Our highest calling in life is not to fulfill our own agenda but to completely surrender to His. Would you rather stand alone with Jesus or fit in with a desperately lost world?

As we continue our reflections of Genesis, BSF Board Member and former Walmart CEO Mike Duke shares "Leadership Lessons from Joseph." In examining the life of this faithful servant, Mike explores several characteristics that made Joseph an effective leader in adversity.

As Mike shares in his post:
"Though we may not all be called to lead a nation like Joseph, God calls each of us to lead in some way. Whether in business, BSF leadership, our local church, our community or leading our family, He provides the framework for serving effectively wherever we are called."

Genesis opens with God’s grand creation and ends with the deaths of key players in His grand story. The book begins with an explosion of life and closes with the reality of death. In these final chapters of Genesis, the purposes and promises of God stand tall. God’s promises for His creation and His people will be fulfilled for His glory. From beginning to end, the book of Genesis gives us reasons to believe God.
