Readings:
Psalm 13
Proverbs 2:13-15
NT: Matthew 13:1-23
OT: Genesis 37-38
My Golden Verse: Matthew 13:19-23
Accepting
Matthew 13:19-23
(19) While anyone is hearing the Word of the kingdom and does not grasp and comprehend it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the roadside.
(20) As for what was sown on thin (rocky) soil, this is he who hears the Word and at once welcomes and accepts it with joy;
(21) Yet it has no real root in him, but is temporary (inconstant, lasts but a little while); and when affliction or trouble or persecution comes on account of the Word, at once he is caused to stumble [he is repelled and begins to distrust and desert Him Whom he ought to trust and obey] and he falls away.
(22) As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the Word, but the cares of the world and the pleasure and delight and glamour and deceitfulness of riches choke and suffocate the Word, and it yields no fruit.
(23) As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the Word and grasps and comprehends it; he indeed bears fruit and yields in one case a hundred times as much as was sown, in another sixty times as much, and in another thirty.

ContemplatingThere are so many seeds in this world with a lot of different types as well. The question was which one am I?
Contemplating
- A seed on the road side?
- A seed on Thin Soil?
- A seed amongst the Thorns?
- A seed on Good Soil?
I have went upon all 4 stages; I was a seed on the road side went to thin soil then I went to the thorns and I believe that I am on Good Soil. As a seed, I went through a lot of process through out my soil searching journey.
Now when I remember my journey, I felt that am blessed by Him.
So let's ponder upon your stage now. Where are you? Do not fear and don't feel Condemned by it. It is a Process and a Journey!
Taking Action
God, I shall not forget my journey as a seed. I believe that I'm on good soil now and I shall be fruitful to glorify You!
End of my W3D2.
God Bless,
SS675,
I'm a Growing Weed!
