A Matter of the Heart - Mark 4: 1-20
Growing up on a farm, I can appreciate the importance of having the soil ready for sowing. No matter how well prepared and fertilized a field is, if left alone, it eventually goes back to nothing more than a field of weeds. The same is true for our hearts being prepared for God’s Word. Without a daily relationship with Christ, our hearts will be like the rocky, thorny and hard soil in the parable, preventing us from having the deep roots of God’s Word needed to sustain us
in times of trouble.
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His Holy people.
