TOPIC: The Right Heart Disposition Towards God’s Word
TEXT: Mark4:1-35(NKJV)
Daily Fountain Devotional For Saturday, MESSAGE
The Parable of the Sower captured four different hearts’ dispositions. The first is “The way side heart. Satan took away the word from their hearts immediately after they heard it. They enemy is always waiting to remove the word of God that we hear if we are not committed in putting it into our lives.
The second is the “Stony heart.” They are offended at the slightest affliction or persecution because, they are shallow in the knowledge of God. Hence they deny the faith in the face of persecution. The third is the “Thorny heart”, They are cumbered with the cares of this life. Seeking God’s kingdom is secondary to them. The cares of this life do not allow them to give sufficient time to the study and practice of the word. The fourth is the “Good ground-like” heart. They receive the word with gladness and bear fruits in thirty, sixty and hundred folds.
The right heart disposition trembles at God’s word; is open, willing and obedient to the word of God. Check your heart, what category does it fall into? Note that the good heart bore different levels of fruits. So don’t be satisfied if others around you are bearing thirty folds. It is possible to get higher results. You can develop the diligence and commitment to bear sixty or hundredfold to the glory of God.
PRAYER: Lord, please search my heart and show me its true disposition. Give me a good heart. Amen.
