Sow, Grow, Reap

I see the good ground where His Word can grow and bring forth fruit.

I see the thorns and thistles where his word will be choked out.

I see the rocky ground where the sun will parch and burn up the Word.

I see the wayside where the Red Wing Black Birds will devour the Word before it can spring forth.

 Erin is teaching Children's church today.  She is sowing "The Word".  She made a visual to help the children understand.
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

 Things change, things stay the same.  Sleeping child with no cares as they trust their earthly father.   As we grow, we need a lasting Father.   I have found Him and trust Him.
