Getting Ready for the End

Matthew 13

Inspired thots

A Favorite chapter on Parables. As I read this passage again, albeit hundreds of times, it is interesting to note that the parable serves as a mirror to me to reflect my inner self.

Yes, it is true. The Word of God has been sowed into me but at times, I do not understand it; hence, it is lost as the devil snatches it away. My blessings are lost (seeds sown along the path).

The next scenario has yet to be revealed as times of persecution and trials are not very prominent at this moment. Yes, the Word of God helped me through difficult times during my working days before I resigned. But I sense deeper trials coming.

The seeds that fell among the thorns; ah... so relevant. Yes, indeed the cares of this world and the delight in riches have tempted me and I fell so hard. The worldly cares bring on fear, worry, anxiety that caused me to be bound in arthritis until 6 Feb when I confessed with understanding. Hallelujah! Read my testimony in God@Work. How surreal!

Yes, I am waiting to  bear fruit not just 100-fold but more if possible to God's glory. Self glory and self righteousness must go.

Then, the Word of God tells how the Kingdom of God is like; for us to identify and treasure it till the end.
