Planting Time
We are finally in the midst of springtime. Many of us are making plans for growing something. Whether it’s a flower garden, vegetable garden, or maybe even crops that may be our primary income. There is a certain amount of excitement in growing things. Of course, many things have to be in order, to be successful in growing things. The main ingredients in growing plants are seeds, good soil, moisture, and warm sunshine.

When Jesus spoke the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:1-23, He showed us how sowing the seed of God’s word, in man’s heart was similar to growing plants, in that it required certain conditions for Gods’ word to grow in a man’s heart. This is one parable that Jesus not only speaks, but also interprets the full meaning so there is little room for misinterpretation. If we put a couple grains of seed corn in the ground and grew a beautiful stock of corn, but only yielded a couple grains of seed we would cry for crop failure. I believe Jesus is telling us that reproducing “Much” fruit is His plans for us.

Please take time to read Matthew 13:1-23, and judge yourself to decide how well that your crops are producing. Happy growing.
