Matthew 13:5
In the area where Jesus was teaching, farmers would have been aware of these types of stony places. In these spots, though there appeared on the surface to be good soil, the rocks were not far below. Thus, having little soil to take root in, the seed had little chance of growing.
Those who spring forth of this kind of soil are those who accept the Truth only for personal advantage, rather than a true commitment to the Truth. They believe simply because they think it is best for them, not because they love the Lord.
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 1:1-2:37
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, help us to live lives that will be a testimony to others. You are worthy not only of our praise, but of our lives. Thank You for always valuing our lives. You enrich us and give us abundant life. It is so good to know Someone who has our best interests at heart. Thank You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for Vacation Bible School coming up in July.
