Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always
And feed on His Word. - Longstaff
Prayer and obedience to God will cultivate the soil of a hard heart. Matt. 13:3-8,18-23
[1] That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.
[2] Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.
[3] Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed.
[4] As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
[5] Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
[6] But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
[7] Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
[8] Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop--a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
[9] He who has ears, let him hear."
[18] "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
[19] When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
[20] The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
[21] But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
[22] The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.
[23] But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." |

너 성결키 위해
늘 기도하며
항상 주 안에 있어
말씀의 양식을 취하라
하나님을 향한 기도와 순종이
마음의 굳은 토양을 일궈준다.
마태복음 13:1-9, 18-23
[1] 그 날에 예수께서 집에서 나가사 바닷가에 앉으시매
[2] 큰 무리가 그에게로 모여 들거늘 예수께서 배에 올라가 앉으시고 온 무리는 해변에 섰더니
[3] 예수께서 비유로 여러가지를 저희에게 말씀하여 가라사대 씨를 뿌리는 자가 뿌리러 나가서
[4] 뿌릴새 더러는 길 가에 떨어지매 새들이 와서 먹어버렸고
[5] 더러는 흙이 얇은 돌밭에 떨어지매 흙이 깊지 아니하므로 곧 싹이 나오나
[6] 해가 돋은 후에 타져서 뿌리가 없으므로 말랐고
[7] 더러는 가시떨기 위에 떨어지매 가시가 자라서 기운을 막았고
[8] 더러는 좋은 땅에 떨어지매 혹 백 배, 혹 육십 배, 혹 삼십 배의 결실을 하였느니라
[9] 귀 있는 자는 들으라 하시니라
[18] 그런즉 씨 뿌리는 비유를 들으라
[19] 아무나 천국 말씀을 듣고 깨닫지 못할 때는 악한 자가 와서 그 마음에 뿌리는 것을 빼앗나니 이는 곧 길가에 뿌리운 자요
[20] 돌밭에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 듣고 즉시 기쁨으로 받되
[21] 그 속에 뿌리가 없어 잠시 견디다가 말씀을 인하여 환난이나 핍박이 일어나는 때에는 곧 넘어지는 자요
[22] 가시떨기에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 들으나 세상의 염려와 재리의 유혹에 말씀이 막혀 결실치 못하는 자요
[23] 좋은 땅에 뿌리웠다는 것은 말씀을 듣고 깨닫는 자니 결실하여 혹 백 배, 혹 육십 배, 혹 삼십 배가 되느니라 하시더라 |
