Praise to the Sower of God’s Seed

He went out of the house. Maybe He just wanted to get some fresh air. Maybe He wanted to gaze at the sky and worship His Father. Maybe He went out so people would see Him by the sea, and come to Him to hear Him speak. That’s what happened. First, a few people saw Him, then, a family of seven. “Go get the neighbors and tell them Jesus is teaching!” Word spread and as Jesus spoke a large crowd gathered. This is what He told them. “Behold, the sower went out to sow; and as He sowed, some seeds fell beside the road and….” It’s too long of a story to tell here. You can read it in Matthew 13. Here’s the point: Jesus sowed seeds of eternal truth among people. Whether it bore fruit depended on the person’s heart.  The Sower stills sow seed through His Word and still quiet voice. Have we received His seed? Are we sowing seeds of eternal truth among people?

Lord Jesus, the sower of God’s seed, prepare our hearts daily to hear and act on Your Word so we bear much fruit that glorifies You. Impassion us to sow Your seeds of truth among others.
