Jesus reminds us that His Word is like seed—full of life and potential. But the condition of our hearts determines what grows. Hard paths, rocky ground, and thorny distractions keep His truth from taking root. When we cultivate “good soil” through prayer, humility, and obedience, God’s Word doesn’t just survive—it thrives, producing a harvest far beyond what we could imagine. Let’s clear the weeds, soften our hearts, and make room for His Word to grow deep and strong.

Luke 8:4-8
4 One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him: 5 “A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it. 6 Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants. 8 Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!” When he had said this, he called out, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”
