"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside"
Matthew 13:19 (New King James Version)
We need to be careful that the devil does not snatch away the word of God from us ! The Word of God is Life !
The Bible says in Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"
Wow ! You can understand why the devil wants to snatch it away from us. He does not want us to be equipped to fight and defeat him in our everyday battles.
Let us not be like someone who received seed by the wayside...Let us seek the Lord and pray for understanding of His Holy Word...Let us fellowship together with brethren and grow stronger together by the grace of God....
And also its not just enough to understand the word of God...we need to bear the fruit.
In Matthew 13:23 we read "But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty"
Are we bearing fruit ? Are we following the word of God and obeying His commandments ?
I pray that the word of God may be deeply rooted within us with understanding and that we dont remain just hearers of the word of God but doers of the word of God as well.
God Bless
