It's amazing to me how, even though these scriptures were written hundreds of years ago, they still apply to life today! Every person is represented in these passages who has ever had the chance to hear God's word. Although these verses were written in a time when there was no form of transportation other than walking for most, communication was hand written letters hand dilivered after walking miles and miles to do so, no indoor plumbing (or plumbing at all for that matter), no stoves other than a fire, none of the conveniences we have today; and yet, we can relate to these groups. the way we hear the Word may be different, but the way we chose to accept it or not is exactly the same.
Which group do I fall into? How am I receiving the Gospel and growing? How deep are my roots? What about you?
How deep or your roots? How deep are mine?
ReplyDeleteI believe you have to have a hunger. No matter how much you read the Bible, you still want more.
I ask the Lord to open my eyes more each day so i may see what he wants me to see. I also ask him let me hear what he is trying to tell me.
I pray that I continue down the path he wants me to go and be a faithful hearer of his word and shine for him....
