Day 287: Matthew 13 and Luke 8

Today on Meditating the Word: the Parables of the Sower, the Wheat and the Tares, the Mustard Seed and the Yeast, the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl, and the Net, a Prophet Without Honor; a Lamp on a Stand, Jesus' Mother and Brothers, Jesus Calms the Storm, Jesus Restores a Demon Possessed Man, the Woman with the Issue of Blood, and Jairus' Daughter Raised from the Dead.

This is Day 287. Today we are reading Matthew 13 and Luke 8

Father God, we receive Your Word into our hearts -- hearts that have been plowed and prepared; good soil. We seek to understand Your Word, and guard it within our hearts so that it will grow and flourish. We nurture it and protect it, not allowing our minds to dwell on anything that disagrees with what Your Word says. We hear Your Word, and faith comes. And it is through faith that we receive the promises and everything that you have provided for us. When something comes against us, we don't allow fear to enter. We just rest on Your Word, knowing that if You spoke it, it is true. Amen
