Summary
It rings true of a soil condition that cannot have a plant or a seed take root and we realize that we all experience the condition of a soil that is not right for planting, not right for growth, not right for a ripe and rich harvest. When my heart is hard, break the stone away, when my heart is cold, warm it with the day, when my heart is lost, lead me on your way, Lord let my heart, Lord let my heart be good soil. And we are praying to God that He will make our hearts good soil because we know that if we are left to our own planting and we are left to our own cultivating, that we are not going to have a soil that is right and right for the seed of the word of God to take hold and to take root. He makes us to have hearts of good soil so that as he plants and scatters that seed it takes hold and by God's grace through His holy spirit, he nourishes that seed and he lets it root within our hearts and it springs forth and it grows within us. And just as a plant grows that is rooted in the soil grows and then produces more seed God does the same thing with you and I so we know that the parable of the soar, the parable of the soar is very personal because it is God who makes us to be a rich good soil. He helps us to soe the seed in that point planting where we have these little pockets of life where we have influence where we have the opportunity to share and He also uses us to plant seed in that broadcast scattering where everywhere we go we proclaim the good news and where it lands we don't know but we continue to soe because we are called to soe and we know because we have been promised that God's word as it is soe will do that which it is purpose for.
