"But the good soil represents honest, good-hearted people. They listen to God's words and cling to them and steadily spread them to others who also soon believe." (Luke 8:15 TLB) In the parable Jesus taught His disciples about the Sower and Seeds, the ground where the seed (the Word) was most effective was good and 'Honest' ground. The heart is that good and honest ground! Honest in one's heart will always produce fruits of good works and love. A dishonest heart conversely will produce dishonest acts! What kind of heart is yours?
Prayer: Lord, work on my heart. Keep my honest forever honest so that your word will always find a place to flourish. Amen.
Mark 7:21-23. . . . For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly. All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God." TLB
