Taking Root
July 26, 2013

A small area of my yard just couldn’t seem to get going. The grass always seemed sparse in that spot, no matter how well I watered it.

So one day I stuck a shovel into this troublesome real estate and discovered the problem: Just below the surface was a layer of stones about three inches deep. This led me to replace the stones with rich topsoil in which new seeds could take root.

Jesus talked about seed and soils. In a parable in Matthew 13 about what happens when the seed of the gospel is sown on various kinds of ground, He said that seeds that land on stones and “not much earth” grow quickly but then die in the sun (vv.5-6). He was speaking of one who has heard and received the gospel, but in whose life the message doesn’t take root. When trouble comes, this person—who is not a genuine believer—falls away.

How grateful we can be for Jesus’ words that conclude this parable: “He who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the Word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit” (v.23). What a reminder of both the privilege and the responsibility that accompanies our salvation.

Praise God for the seed of the gospel and the soil of spiritual growth.

Lord, I would be soil in which You can plant
Your Word with its promise of fruit;
I want to be open to You every day,
So what You have planted takes root. —Hess

A heart open to God is soil in which the seed of His Word can flourish.

Read: Matthew 13:1-9

Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up. —Matthew 13:5

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 40-42; Acts 27:1-26

“I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be A Diamond Someday)”
Songwriters: SHAVER, BILLY

Hey I’m just an old chunk of coal
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day
I’m gonna grow and glow till I’m so blue pure perfect
I’m gonna put a smile on everybody’s face

I’m gonna kneel and pray every day
And last I should become vain along the way
And I’m just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I’m gonna learn the best way to walk
I’m gonna search and find a better way to talk
And I’m gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
Till I get rid of every single flaw

Yea, I’m gonna be the world’s greatest friend
I’m gonna go round shaking everybody’s hand
I’m gonna be the cotton pickin’ rage of the age
Yea, I’m gonna be a diamond some day

Now I’m just an old chunk of coal
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day
Hey and I’m gonna grow and glow till I’m so blue pure perfect
I’m gonna put a smile on everybody’s face

I’m gonna kneel and pray every day
And last I should become vain along the way
Hey and I’m just an old chunk of coal now Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day
And yea, I’m gonna be the cotton pickin’ rage of the age
Yea, I’m gonna be a diamond some day
