Soil Three and our Call to Action
Phew! This is the last look at our soil, if you’ve missed the first two, catch up here.
SOIL NUMBER THREE:
vs. 8: Still others fell on good ground and produced a crop: some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.
vs. 23: But the one sown on the good ground—this is one who hears and understands the word, who does bear fruit and yields: some 100, some 60, some 30 times what was sown.”
When I really want a plant to live and flower, I work hard from the beginning. I throw aside the old soil and till up fresh, fertile soil. I work diligently for them, building trellaces to grow up and water them properly.
This is how our hearts should be when it comes to things of God. It sounds hard to “till our hearts and minds” but that’s exactly what Scripture calls us to do. This looks pretty similar for all of us. Eliminate the distractions like phones and televisions. Get alone with God regularly and frequently.
THE CALL TO ACTION
vs. 9: Anyone who has ears should listen!
This is where the fruit of the Spirit begins. With a heart that is ready for God to speak, feet eager to move where He leads, and a flesh willing to obey.
