SCRIPTURE: Matthew 13:22-23 – The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choked it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
COMMENTARY: God plants the seed in your life. Your life is the soil. What kind of soil are you preparing for God’s seed to be planted in: the packed down roadway, shallow soil with a hard rock foundation, soil full of counterfeit thorny plants or good soil?
REFLECTION: Read the full passage (Matthew 13:1-23) and figure out where you fit into the picture because that is Jesus’ direct instruction in 13:9.
