40 days with Mark and Jesus (8)

Mark 4:1-20

The word is the best seed. The Sower is faithful and hardworking. Only a quarter of the ground is fruitful and receptive to our Lord’s word. As the soil is worked upon by sunshine and rain, so our hearts are worked upon by God’s Spirit that we might be good soil to received our Lord’s word.

Prayer: Come Holy Spirit; enter our cold and hard hearts. Break up the stony places and tear out the weeds that when we read and hear God’s word it might take deep root and bear much fruit within us.
