Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Mark 4:3
BSB
Read Mark 4 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Mark 4)
A wasteful sower
A sower scatters seed on the path, among the stones, among the thorns and on good ground. Most of it is lost. But what falls on good ground brings forth thirty, sixty and a hundredfold.
This sower seems wasteful. He doesn't calculate where the return will be highest. He scatters everywhere. That is how God deals with his word: generously, for everyone.
Question for today
What kind of ground am I for his word today?
Prayer
Lord, make my heart good ground. Take away the stones and thorns, so that your word can grow in me. Amen.
