Today’s Word from God’s Word-Sowing

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Sowing.

This is a farming term that refers to planting seeds in the ground.

Jesus taught about sowing and reaping in His parables. In Luke 8, he taught the Parable of the Sower. The seed represents the word of God. The soil represents how different people respond to the word of God.

Some are not receptive to the word of God at all. Others receive it with joy, but the word of God does not take root in their lives, and they fall away in times of testing. Others hear God’s Word, but they are choked by life’s worries, riches, and pleasures, and they never mature. The seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

This parable reveals the significance of God’s Word to spiritual growth.
