What Are You Sowing?

My friend who attends Lakewood Church sends me these about once or twice a month.

Today's Scripture

"Other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." (Matthew 13:8)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

You should be living with expectancy because God is using what you're sowing for His good and perfect will. There are many kinds of seeds, but only one kind of seed is a good seed that produces a crop according to Matthew 13. This is the seed of God's Word, and as you sow good seeds for Jesus Christ into a field of hurting and desperate people, people who have no other hope for life, they will find something firm to believe in. Jesus Himself promises that if you sow good seed, you will reap a harvest that is beyond your expectations. Plant good seeds in the lives of other people. There is plenty of soil to sow in, and a lot of it is right where you live and work!


You should be living with expectancy because God is using what you're sowing for His good and perfect will. Can anyone tell me what the heck this means?

Mathew 13:4-8 4 And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up. 5 And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

6 And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away. 7 And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.


The seeds were not bad, the ground they landed on was caused them not to bare fruit. Essentially all the seeds were good,but because some landed on stone, in the sun, or in thorns, they did not bare fruit. I think what Joel should of said is that if we choose a good ground for our seeds will bare fruit.
