I did warn you yesterday that if you can decipher the meaning of Jesus' wonderful stories, you have found gold!
Today I am keen to remind you to go for the very best that God has in store for you, whatever your need. Just believe!
In His wisdom, again knowing you and me who call ourselves Christians and children of the Most High, Jesus gave us the story / parable of a farmer who went out to sow his seed on different types of soil and conditions, and the seed produced different results Mark 4 vs. 1 – 20:
- Some fell on the path and were eaten by birds
- Some fell on rocky ground and the plants were scorched by the sun
- Others fell in thorny places and got choked by the thorns
- Other fell on good soil and produced a good harvest, multiplying thirty, sixty and even a hundred times
Do you notice in the parable that the seed was the same but the soil conditions were different? If you are a child of God, you can get away (for today only) with the fact that you are not the one implied by the seed that fell on the path, rocky ground and thorny places, etc.
You are good ground. You have received Jesus and His word and you are saved – destined for Heaven!
Now the challenge. We hear the same word, we pray, etc., but some seem to get results, whilst others don't.
Child of God – our God loves us and He is the same to all who come to Him for help. So, don't settle for thirty percent when He has a hundred percent in store for you. Do whatever you can to believe His perfect will for you.
1 John 5 (NIV, emphasis mine) promises:
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
What's His will? Answer – every little word or story He tells you to give you hope and inspiration and that relates to your need
