Luke 8: 8 "Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
This comes from a parable. Jesus said that some seeds are eaten by birds. Those are the people without faith. Others fall on rocky ground, so they don't have roots. That's the people who are faithful for just a bit of time, but who fall away when the excitement wears off. Others fall among thorns, which represent the distractions of daily life. The last are true Christians.
I have always loved this imagery. It's important to consider which kind of seed you are. I was blessed with faith, and I must be aware so that I don't let it slip away.
Prayer: Lord, I praise You for the power of faith. I benefit each day from it. Strengthen my faith. Help me to be a beacon to the faithless.
Amen
