Let It Not Once Be Said

By
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles

Jesus once told the story of a sower, a seed, and four kinds of soil (Matthew 13:1-9 – NKJV). The soil among the thorns represented those who permit the Word of God in their hearts to be choked by the cares and pleasures of this alluring world (Matthew 13:7 – NKJV ; Matthew 13:22 – NKJV).

This is a dangerous possibility for anyone who thoughtlessly responds to God’s Word. The world’s influence may induce a forgetfulness of spiritual reality and responsibility.

Let’s ask ourselves, “Do we allow the attractions of this world to keep us from reading and meditating on God’s Word?” (cf. Psalm 1:1-2 – NKJV).

Prayerfully, let us strive to be like the one who:

“hears the Word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces” (Matthew 13:23 – NKJV).

When the day ends this evening, let it not once be said that we have forgotten God and His Word.

Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always,
And feed on His Word. —W.D. Longstaff
