Matthew 13:25
While the ministers of good are lax, the enemy will find every opportunity to subvert the Truth. In this case, he implants counterfeits among the harvest. The ‘tares’ to which Jesus here refers were actually a type of weed that looked just like wheat. Until the ears began to appear, they were indistinguishable from the wheat. Indeed, many a false Christian will only be identified by the lack of true fruit. When souls are being won to Christ, the tares will either fake conversions, or fail to produce. True fruit will reveal true Christians.
Bible Reading: Judges 5:1-7:25
Scripture Memory: 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being patient with our selfishness. You have done so much for us. We do not deserve all of Your blessings! We could never catch up with all Your kindnesses if we began listing them now. To catalog Your blessings upon our lives would surely fill our lives. We must humbly serve the One who will never forget our most basic needs. You have our best in Your eye. You will never do anything that is not good for us. Thank You for Your amazing grace and love! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for a young family travelling on vacation this week.
