Parable of the Seed

Matthew 13:3-23 I am sharing with you my thoughts about verses 3-9 but read verses 18-23 for God's word; The Holy Bible, through the Holy Spirit, clearly shares the entire meaning...

3 "Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed." --- seeds are the believer who shares The word of God, the given nudge/oppurtunity of the Holy Spirit.

4 "As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up." --- The moment the receiver hears, "it goes in one ear and out the other" it's complicated or boring... verse 19 tells it best "the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart."

5 & 6 "Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root." --- The Word of God the nudge of the Holy Spirit feels right at the time you hear with your heart, but you go about your day with no devotion to the Lord.

7 "Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants." --- Here again you hear with your heart but your not willing to repent and if you do repent you still continue to sin, and sin separates us from God.

8 "Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." --- Ahh the good soil like us! His Word the nudge of the Holy Spirit sets your soul on fire and you grow in the knowledge of Christ! your light shines before others and people want to know, what is it about you? Finally verse 9 "Whoever has ears, let them hear."   Luke 24:45 "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures."

God chooses; John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you."

so Lord I ask you now help the reader to let go and let You God, that once we share the word, "sowed seed" as a witness for You Lord, that we understand and appreciate that it is Your choice to water the sewn seed... in understanding with reverence I ask you to bring the rain! in Jesus Name Amen
