"The seed is the Word of God" (Luke 8:11).
This is what Jesus' parable of the sower is all about. It's about the
Word of God. God's Word is sown in our hearts. God's Word bears fruit in
our lives. The sowing of God's Word in our hearts requires patience. We
don't reap the harvest right away. We must work patiently for the
harvest which God will give to us in His time. Let us be faithful in
sowing the seed of God's Word. Let's keep on praying that God will give
to us the "hundredfold" harvest (Luke 8:8).
May God help us to be faithful in sowing and fruitful in reaping. God's
Word comes to us. It is given to us by the Lord. What are we doing with
His Word? When God's Word is sown in our hearts, what kind of soil does
it find there? Are we allowing it to grow in our hearts? Are we
allowing God to produce His abundant harvest in our lives? God's Word
emphasizes to us the direct connection between sowing and reaping: "Sow a
thought, reap an action. Sow an action, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap
a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny." Let there be good soil.
Let there be good thoughts and actions, good habits, good character and a
great destiny.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
