Shortly after Jesus was done the disciples still did not fully understand it so Jesus explained it to them. And He does such a great job explaining it, of course He does because He is Jesus, but I just love the way He explains it again.
"The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of
For me personally I believe that at first the word was not sown on the good soil, because when I first thought I had given my heart to the Lord, I really did not. I mean I knew I had thing called salvation and forgiveness, but I did not know what to do with it or how to produce anything from it. It was until I truly became serious about my relationship with God that I planted the word and the Truth that I had received into good soil and it has been until then that I have truly been able to produce crops. It is not always easy at times, but God never promised it would be easy, but it is manageable with Him on our side. Thank you Lord for the chance to plant Your word and Your Truth in good soil.
Is it time for you to do some replanting?
Become a Farmer, & Sow the Word in Good Soil,
