Gen 46-48; Matt 13:1-30
Matt 13:1-30
I need more time to wrap my mind around just how important and powerful the Word is.
It’s important enough for the evil one to take his time and come snatch it from my heart when I’ve not prepared my heart enough for it to take root. Snatch it away - not just take it away. Take something that’s yours forcefully away from you. That’s how badly the evil one doesn’t want me to have it.
The Word is so important that when I’m trying to feed on it - the very fact that I’m trying to nurture it in my life attracts trouble and persecution! Anything to make me lose focus and forget or doubt the word!
It’s so important that the devil tries to choke the word in my life to death. So violent! Strangle it to death and make sure the word I’m trying to read and engraftment in my heart is not fruitful. He does this by trying to ensure I’m distracted and petrified by the worries of this life - and by trying to deceive me with material things so that I’ll put the word on the back burner in order to pursue riches.
However, if I prepare my heart to understand the word - and I looked up ‘understand’ and the meaning is deep - then I will produce a crop that amounts to no less than 30, 60, or 100 Times the amount if Word/seed planted!!
So, this is the devil’s plan?
Too bad. In 2018, I’m going to read and chew this word. I must see the results of feasting on the Word in my life in Jesus’ Name. I am reading and meditating with the expectation of fruitfulness in every area of my life.
To understand = to take in, puzzle out, keep up with, get to know, follow, get to the bottom of, unravel, see the light about, latch onto, etc.
