Is Your Seed Producing a Harvest?

This is our B moment. Our moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.

Scripture reference: Colossians 1:10 (ESV)

Today I am asking you a question: Is your seed producing a harvest?

It’s the middle of summer and many are vacationing with a good book in hand. There is nothing more refreshing than hearing a good story. When I turn to my own good book, I am reminded that Jesus was the best storyteller as he often taught using parables. 

Parables are analogies used to communicate truth to teach a spiritual lesson. Jesus used parables to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven to his disciples, while keeping others who resisted God’s word blind to this truth.

One of my favorite parables is the parable of the sower, the farmer who planted seeds. Here, seed represents the word of God. Jesus went on to explain each analogy. 

Some seeds fell on the hard footpath, which means that the enemy may snatch the understanding of God’s word before a person’s heart can even embrace it. Some seeds also fell on the shallow part of the soil, which means some hear God’s word but struggle to act on it with any depth. 

Other seeds fell on the thorny ground, where God’s word is soon crowded out by the other cares of this life. Finally, some seeds fell on good soil, which represents those who embrace the word and produce a huge harvest from it. 

As one of God’s chosen who has regular access to God’s word, are you producing a harvest? If you’re like me and often go back and forth between one path and the next, hold onto these words: “…walk in a manner worthy of the Lord…bearing fruit in every good work…” Colossians 1:10 (ESV)
