THE SEED
“…And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it…” Mark 4: 3-4 NKJV
Have you sat in a Sermon and one week later, you cannot remember what was preached? Or even who did the preaching? Can you recall the message in church 2 weeks ago? What did it teach you? How are you using it now? If your answer is ‘No’ – this scripture is describing you. When next you hear the Word of God, make a conscious decision to ‘take it in’. If you are in the habit of taking notes, make it a point of duty to read your notes again. Check yourself, to see how you can apply the message. Otherwise, the Thief will steal it from you. And it will be as if, you never heard the message in the first place. Remember the words of King David in the book of Psalms, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”
PRAYER
Heavenly Father help me keep my heart receptive to the truth. Let it not be a ‘hunting ground’ for the thief, in Jesus’ name Amen.
