Monday
We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
“Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
- Matthew 13:18-23
Every follower of Jesus carries a sacred calling - to be a sower of God's Word. This isn't an optional ministry for the super-spiritual or those with special gifts. It's the natural overflow of a transformed life. When Jesus changes your heart, sharing that transformation becomes as natural as telling friends about good news. Think about it: if someone gave you a brand new car, you wouldn't keep it secret. You'd be bursting to tell everyone! How much more should we share the life-changing news of what Jesus has done for us? The statistics around us are sobering - many claim faith but few truly know Jesus. This reality should stir our hearts, not discourage us. God has placed you exactly where you are - in your family, workplace, neighborhood, and community - to be His light. Your calling as a sower isn't about having all the answers or being perfect. It's about being obedient to share the hope that lives within you. Today, ask God to open your eyes to see the people He's already placed in your path.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
