And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:” (Matt. 13:4).
We as Christians are blessed to hear and read God’s word at almost anytime we desire. We have so many options available to us. We do not live in countries where we are not allowed to have His Word. We have the freedom to go to church and listen to the minister preach. We have computers, MP3 players, radio, and TV to listen to scripture and devotionals on. We are truly blessed.
Sometimes, if we’re not careful, we let all of this become routine and we don’t really listen. I am guilty of letting my mind wonder while sitting in the church pew. Sad to say, there have been times I really couldn’t tell you what the message was about at that service. I don’t want the “fowls to devour” the precious word God has sent my way. I want to apply it to my life, so I may live pleasing unto Him. I am truly blessed to be able to listen to or read God’s Word. I pray I will take it and use it for His glory.
