What Kind of Seed are YOU Sowing?

In Matthew 13 Jesus tells the parable of the sower that sows good seed in the ground, and the good seed is the Word of God.

Those that walk humbly with the Lord speak often of the wonderful works of God and the Word of God.

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
(Psa 34:1-3)

Do you sow the good seed of the word of God and of testimonies of the wondeful works of God?

Believe it or not, arrogance and pride is one of the greatest enemies of those that are busy sowing the seed of the Word of God. One of the reasons for this is that arrogance and pride are subtle, and the schemes of the devil are subtle.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (Jas 4:6-7)

Being a God-follower or Christ-follower is challenging, but not complicated. As the prophet Micah once said,

"He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Mic 6:8)

When we get puffed up and full of ourselves we tend to be judgmental and critical and see what is wrong with our brothers and sisters in Christ, rather than encourage them as they minister in the name of Jesus.

King Solomon once wrote,
"These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren."
(Pro 6:16-19)

May the Lord help us to actively sow good seed into those around us, and to encourage those others that are sowing good seed in the name of Jesus.

Yours in Him,
