THE WORD IS YOUR SEED!

Hello, brothers and sisters, how are you and have you enjoyed living for Jesus? You might answer by saying that you are doing just fine and you might add that there have been some good days as well as some not so good days on this journey called Christendom.

I’m quite sure that if you could share your testimony, it would be wrought with times and seasons where your faith has truly been tested. Those seasons might have included chronic sickness, the untimely death of a loved one, financial crisis, marital discord, foreclosure, betrayal, deep hurts, loneliness, rejection, that wayward child…and the list could go on and on.

On the other hand, you may have become disenchanted with God’s Word in pursuit of your own ambitions, worldly allures, and the cares of this life and leaving God out of your decision-making.

In spite of following your own leads and or walking in the midst of many challenges and hardships, can you honestly say that you are still anchored in God’s Word? Do you still have the God kind of faith and hope?

Or have you been angry with God with the devil laughing behind your back? Or have you stopped attending church? Have you stopped reading your Bible? Have you stopped spending quality time with God? Has your devotion time been lacking?

If so, its okay…God still loves You! The Bible says that He loves you with an everlasting love. God is faithful and His grace abounds (generous) toward us. In this world, we will face trials and tribulations. But if we would but keep our hands in God’s hand and turn to Him instead of away from Him, He will see us through every situation that befalls us.

My question to you today is that when troubles arise, when the fleshly allures of this life beckon you, where will your seed fall? Will the seed fall among thorns, will it be choked, or will it fall on good ground?

Please take the time to reflect on the scriptures below and if you didn’t get it right in the past, it’s okay…You can start afresh, making Jesus the Lord of your life and letting His Word take deep root in your heart and soul in every situation that you face and to get busy sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  For He is coming soon!

13 He continued, “Do you see how this story works? All my stories work this way.
14 “The farmer plants the Word. 15 Some people are like the seed that falls on the hardened soil of the road. No sooner do they hear the Word than Satan snatches away what has been planted in them.   16 “And some are like the seed that lands in the gravel. When they first hear the Word, they respond with great enthusiasm. 17 But there is such shallow soil of character that when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it. 18 “The seed cast in the weeds represents the ones who hear the kingdom news 19 but are overwhelmed with worries about all the things they have to do and all the things they want to get. The stress strangles what they heard, and nothing comes of it. 20 “But the seed planted in the good earth represents those who hear the Word, embrace it, and produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams.”   (Mark 4:13-20) Message Bible
