If you have ever wondered why everything seems so hard in life and God just doesn't seem to hear your prayers, then you may not have received your seed (Word) with a repentant heart.
Sown seeds fall in several categories:
1.Beside the road
2.Rocky soil.
3.Sown among thorns.
4.Good Ground.
If your life is not producing a bumper crop of good, maybe you can pray to God and repent of the junk in your life, and ask God to re-sow into your new fertile heart and watch your harvest multiply.
18 This is what the parable of the sower means.
19 It is about the kingdom of heaven. When someone hears the story of the Kingdom and cannot understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away whatever goodness and holiness had been sown in the heart. This is like the seeds sown beside the road.
20-21 You know people who hear the word of God and receive it joyfully—but then, somehow, the word fails to take root in their hearts. It is temporary. As soon as there is trouble for those people, they trip: those people are the seeds strewn on the rocky soil.
22 And you know people who hear the word, but it is choked inside them because they constantly worry and prefer the wealth and pleasures of the world: they prefer drunken dinner parties to prayer, power to piety, and riches to righteousness. Those people are like the seeds sown among thorns.
23 The people who hear the word and receive it and grow in it—those are like the seeds sown on good soil. They produce a bumper crop, 30 or 60 or 100 times what was sown.
Matthew 13: 18-23 The Voice Bible.
