Luke 8:4-8   “While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.””

 NIV

Do I have ears to hear?  Do you have ears to hear?  Think about this parable before reading the interpretation (tomorrow’s devotional).  If you had heard this for the first time and had not heard the interpretation, what would you make of this?  What might the seed represent?  Certainly, seed falling on the good soil is a good thing.  It’s crop yield of 100 times more is very good. Think about this parable, today, before we review Jesus’s interpretation tomorrow. 

May you notice God’s blessings today.
