The Seed in You

“And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred. And he said unto them, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Mark 4:4-20.

Ask yourself, “How important is God’s Word to me personally; what part does it play in my daily life?” His Word must be your final say, in what ever situation you are in. The parable that was just read, relates to how the Word is applied in people’s life and the end result of the different dependency of each situations. Is your heart like the Roadside, where there is not much of a spiritual foundation in you? The end result from this, is that when the slightest problem comes your way, the written Word will have no real effect in you; so you can maintain and grown on. Like birds eating seeds off of the ground, God’s Word vanishes from their spirit – leaving them with no foundation to stand upon.

Are you the Stony Ground? Where your heart has stored some of the Word, yet when things start getting tough, the Word in you starts to fall apart, having no effect – spiritually, you wither away, till the Word has no power in you to stand? Are you walking among the Thorns, where the Word is in you, but through the course of time you allow your trials to overcome you, taking your Hope from within? In your personal life, your troubles become your vocal point, thus, choking out the Truths and Promises of the written Word.

Think about these 3 different scenarios relating to your personal life. Do you fit in any of these situations? Your personal Peace and Confidence is depending on it. God has given you Eternal Life, but while you walk this Earth, you are suppose to walk in the Blessing that He has Promised you.
