Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:6).

Are you by faith generously spreading the seed of God’s Word?

Jesus gives us the parable of the sower. The Greek term “parable” literally means to cast alongside of. Parables give a story derived from life that conveys a simple truth. Parables can be used to make a comparison or give a contrast. Our Lord begins, “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow” (Mark 4:3). Jesus’ apostles desperately need to grasp the meaning of this parable since they are the ones called upon to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). We have also been called to bring the gospel to the lost. Jesus says, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me” (Acts 1:8).

Employment Point: Scatter the seed of God’s Word leaving the results to Him.
