Topic: Keep the Weeds Out
So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground. – Mark 4:26
Jesus compared the kingdom of God with the planting of seed and reaping the harvest. It’s a simple concept. One all of us understand. Why, then, aren’t all of us producing bumper crops every season? Because we’re sitting around waiting for God to do all the work.
He doesn’t operate that way. He’ll work with you, but He won’t do it all. There are some essential things you must do by faith if you want to have a crop to reap at harvest time.
First, you must sow the seed of the Word in faith, expecting it to grow. You must find precious promises from God in His Word, plant them in your heart and in your life.
Next, you must water the seed. Water it every day with praise. Water it with the spiritual water of the Word. That Word contains life and those seed promises can’t grow without it.
And finally, you have to keep the weeds out! When the weeds of unforgiveness, doubt, fear, discouragement (and all the other junk the devil tries to sow into your crop) try to enter in, get rid of them. They’ll choke the Word.
That’s going to take some diligence on your part. No one else will do it for you. You’re going to have to weed your own crop. So get tough about it. When a little weed pops up, kill it! Don’t hang on to it for even a moment. Pull it up by its roots. Spray it with the Word. Don’t be tempted to keep a wildflower when you can have the best—God’s best.
Don’t sit around waiting for God to produce your harvest. Start planting. Start watching over your land (your heart and your mind) to keep it moist, watered with the Word and free from weeds.
Commit to do your part and trust God to do His. You will have a bumper crop this season!
