Mark 4:1-20

4:14 "The sower sows the word"

Jesus explains the parable of the sower and the fertile and infertile ground.

What I need to remember from this passage is that we always need to sow the word. There will be all kinds of situations where the truth is not received well, or it is received and other circumstances affect the work of the truth in the listener's life. Whatever the case, the sower is to sow the word.

Sometimes I start to try to maximize my ministry by focusing on "fertile ground", but that's not my call to make. I am to sow fertile ground, rocky ground, everywhere!

Lord, help me to be indiscriminate in sharing the truth. Help me not to look for opportunities to convert, but for opportunities to share Your Word.
