THOUGHTS: – – In Jesus’ parable of the sower, the soil type which concerns me most (as regards me personally) is the seed that fell among thorns. It is too easy to be distracted from the “eternal” by our daily lives.
SCRIPTURE: – – Matthew 13:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
Matthew 13:22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
QUOTATION: — “How is it that the soul being of such value, and God so great, eternity so near and yet we are so little moved?”
— (William Bramwell, 1759-1818)
MORE THOUGHTS: – – How thankful I that men like William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale (and many others) were willing to devote their lives (nearly 500 years ago) to bring us the Bible in English. They took advantage of the new technology called the printing press to bring the Word of God to the English people in their native tongue.
Now I, personally, need to feed on God’s Word (as contained in the Holy Bible) and strive to not allow this Holy Word to be choked out by the cares of life with the result being that I become unfruitful.
Thanks for reading and I pray this message blessed you today.
