Parable of the Sower
Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23; Mark 4:3-9, 14-20; Luke 8:4-8, 11-15
sow- to plant seeds
wayside- hard ground that has been walked on (such as a path or road)
devoured- ate
withered away- died
These are all interpretations that I have come up with from the scriptures or my own:
The seed means- the word of God
wayside means- those that hear but Satan comes and takes the belief away
stony places means- those that hear but don't have a place to put forth their roots and then fall into temptation
among thorns means- those that hear but are choked by the things of the world
good ground means- those that hear and take it to heart and are living the word of God
So choose your soil.
Are you going to be the wayside or the road?
Or the rocks?
Or the thorns?
Or will you choose to be the good ground and plant the word of God into your heart and let it grow?
None of the soils in the parable had to stay in the condition it was in. We choose what soil we are.
To improve your soil lets take out the rocks and thorns in our lives or the temptations and tribulations and cast them out and shun them as you would a disease. Then lets get the good ground coming by reading the word of God and praying to our Father in Heaven for help. Improving your soil will let those spiritual seeds or the word of God more fully plant themselves into your heart and you will be more open to the enticing of the Spirit.
