Luke 8:6 “Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.”
To fall on rock does not mean that this seed fell up ‘a’ rock, but upon an area with a lot of rock in the ground. Very little moisture would be retained in the soil, and the seeds, though germinated, could not grow much. The root system too would be stopped by the rock.
This describes those who receive the message, but never grow at all. The gospel doesn’t even take root. Temptation comes to all, and for these it takes little. Quickly they turn away. It may take months, but yet it will not take long.
Heavenly Father, You alone are the King over all! You nurture Your people and You are the Savior of all humanity. Thank You for Your great wisdom, love and grace! I will always stand in awe at Your amazing wonders. You alone can do great and mighty things. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
