Today’s Reading
Genesis 20-22
Luke 8
My Scripture is Luke
8:13-15 (HCSB) – this is Jesus explaining the parable of the sower in Luke
8:5-8
Scripture: Luke 8:133-15
“And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear,
welcome the word with joy. Having no
root, these believe for a while and depart in a time of testing. As for the
seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who, when they have heard, go
on their way and are choked with worries, riches, and pleasures of life, and
produce no mature fruit. But the seed in the good ground – these are the ones
who, having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by
enduring, bear fruit.”
This scripture spoke me in the form of confirmation. For many years I have opened the door to my
home and have allowed individuals to live with me until they can move on. Some of those have been young mothers. Because I am a teen mother myself I have a
special place in my heart to want to help them understand the responsibility
and role they place in the life of that adult they are raising. I have never believed we are raising children
because we are not meant to remain children. I have been struggling for the past three
months with someone that has caused me to question where I am in my spiritual
maturity. I have found myself giving
away my joy, time, and in my opinion my light with nothing bearing fruit.
This scripture has made me realize that I began my journey
as the rock, thorns and now I want to really believe I am now good ground. I feel as if I am being challenged to once
again bear fruit from this experience.
With me being good fruit I must remember I have to be obedient and then
know when to get out of God’s way. I believe
today is that day. I must share what I
know then finally remove myself from the situation and let Him do what He does
best – be God.
Lord, I pray that you continue to show me what it is that
you want me to do. Please give me the
strength to not allow my flesh to want to fix everything but allow you to do
your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
