"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. (Luke 8:11-15 KJV)
Allow God to Cultivate that Which He has Planted
God's Word is the seed planted in our hearts. The heart is where our problems arise. God tells us in His Word that, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jeremiah 17:9-10) His Word tells us to "Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23 KJV). Because of sin, our hearts will lead us astray. Our hearts cannot be made right apart from the saving Grace of Jesus. It's all about our heart condition. It is a must that when we hear the Word of God, we keep it in our hearts in order that it cultivate our heart so that it brings forth fruit to perfection. Continue to "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6) "...being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1:6 KJV)
Praise the Lord
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. Have a blessed stress-free worry-free day on purpose and never stop believing Jesus paid it all.
