Matthew 13:24-30 “Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted the good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from? An enemy has done this! The farmer exclaimed. Should we pull out the weeds? They asked. No, he replied, you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.”
Jesus says to leave the weeds or you will pull out the wheat also. I had a feeling when I was reading this that this is why bad things happen to good people. Satan has snuck in through Adam and Eve and has planted the weeds. We grow together with hopes that the good will grow more than the weeds, but God doesn’t want to chance loosing the wheat by pulling out the weeds yet. The weeds are working just as hard to kill the wheat, who will work harder to grow more? Are we willing to fertilize our soil by adding more of God’s word and plugging in, or do we let everything of this world entice us from truly living for God. Things may seem to be fun and needed for us to live but they are physical and weeds planted by the devil. Physical pleasure is meant for husband and wife’s, not for us to use as entertainment. If you can’t understand this maybe you need to check what you are plugging into. Don’t be caught up in the seed that fell on shallow soil.
Matthew 13 verse 5-6 says, “Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died.”
Continue to grow; seeking God’s wisdom and help your roots grow deep. Amen
