Thursday Mark 4:1-8, 13-20
1ST BIBLE PASSAGE
2ND BIBLE PASSAGE
[Please do read the passage before (or after) reading the devotion.]
The seed that fell on the good soil produced a large harvest, many times that of the original. Jesus said these were like people who opened themselves to God’s work. They actively listened. This is the kind of listening that is intentional and focused, like a mother listening for the sound of her child, and vice versa. On hearing the Word, they accepted (or gladly received) it. Like a thirsty traveler who drinks water after hours of being without it. [Luke 8:15 adds persevering after this.] And finally produces that huge crop. Amazingly, this part belongs more to God if we do the previous three. The reason for the plant is not just to grow, but also to produce fruit. Are you the “fruity” person that God made you to be, and Christ gave his life for?
Prayer: Lord, I want to bear fruit for you. Maybe I’ve been trying too hard on my own, but I don’t always see fruit in my life that other people want to enjoy. Forgive me for not being intentional in my listening to Your Word, or when I have not allowed Your Word to enter my life by obeying it consistently. Gracious Father, I will do that from now on. Bring a rich harvest through me. Amen.
