reflect & pray: your own response to our Father's mission mandate??


Luke 8:4-15

"While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told this parable: 'A farmer went out to sow his seed.'"

Wherever you are in your walk with Christ and in your commitment to the cause of proclaiming Him among the nations, carefully consider this parable. What kind of soil are you? You have read of God's concern for the nations; is this word bouncing off you like the seed bounced off the road? Are you rocky soil, becoming excited about missions only once a year at a missionary conference? Will your present commitment to mission be choked by the pleasures and riches of which Jesus spoke? Or will you let your vision grow and multiply as you share it with other Christians, and will you reproduce your life by giving it away for the sake of others?

Father, find us to be "good soil" in which the "seed" of Your Word produces much fruit for Your glory.
