The Sower of the World

Jesus said He was the Sower spreading the seed of the Word of God to produce a great harvest.

The wisdom of the world would tell us that if we want to be productive then we should:

a.  Have a strategic planning session

b.  Figure out your metrics

c.   Then get busy and take massive action.

Well, I’ve made all kinds of plans and took massive action only to find I was doing my will and not God’s will.

How did I know I wasn’t bearing the fruit God wanted?

One of two things happened. Either I was successful and bored; or overwhelmed, exhausted and sick. And that is when the great temptation sets in to veg out in front of our screens and binge watch tik-tok or You tube or Netflix

If Satan can keep us in two places, then he wins: busy and then distracted. Vacillating back and forth.

If we want our lives to produce the right fruit, then let God plant the seed of His Word in the soil of our soul by listening to His Word and thinking about it as we pray.
