Matthew 13:4
The wayside is the path near the field. As a well-trodden path, it would naturally not be a good place for seed to grow. It was packed down and hard. This represents those who hear the gospel, but do not understand it. Before they have time to figure out what they have heard, the evil one has taken the Truth from their attention. They become interested in some other thing, and forget that which they never understood properly to begin with.
Bible Reading: Numbers 34:1-36:13
Scripture Memory: 1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for family and friends. Your blessings on us are too many to count. It is so good to know that You are always aware of where we all are, what we are doing, and if we need help. You immediately know if we are in trouble, or if we are crying out to You. It is so good to have an ear to talk to that can actually do something about the situation. I am glad that You take an interest in our lives. Thank You for Your blessed intervention and Providential care. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
