TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Jesus told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away'" (Matthew 13:24, NIV).
TODAY'S WORD , Jesus is telling a parable in Matthew 13 about a man who went out to his field and planted wheat in the ground. He sowed good seed. This represents that he was doing the right thing, honoring God with his life, and being good to others. But while he slept, an enemy came in and planted weeds. The man didn't know what had happened. He was expecting to have a great harvest; after all, he did all the right things. But the weeds sprang up among his wheat. Sometimes, things happen in life. Weeds spring up that we didn't have anything to do with. The key is to keep the right attitude and keep focusing on the goodness of God. When these unexpected challenges happen, we can say, "It's just another weed. I didn't sow it. I don't have to reap it." Then we can keep the door open for God to move on our behalf. Today, don't let the weeds take root. Don't let discouragement creep in. Instead, lift up your eyes of faith to what your father God can do for you. Keep believing, keep praying, and keep hoping because your harvest is on the way! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father God, thank You for the truth of Your Word which sets me free. Help me to keep my heart and mind focused on You. Give me Your peace as I focus on the harvest that You have for my future. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
