Are you listening?
Then he said, Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.
Mark 4:9 (NLT)
Do not become distracted as what has been put before you.
Let your focus be upon me. Cast aside all that distracts you
from the truth in me. Be rooted and grounded in my Word.
Let it grow within you.
Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it
across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath,
and the birds came and ate it. Other seed fell on shallow soil
with underlying rock.
across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath,
and the birds came and ate it. Other seed fell on shallow soil
with underlying rock.
The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and
since it didn’t have deep roots, it died.
Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out
the tender plants so they produced no grain.
Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew,
and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and
even a hundred times as much as had been planted!
