When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. (Matthew 13:19)
His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us… (Matthew 13:36)
When we see something in God’s word that we don’t understand, what do we do?
Do we simply say, “I don’t understand,” and never give it another thought, allowing Satan to easily snatch it away so that it never bears fruit in our lives?
Or are we like Jesus’ disciples, caring enough to humbly ask, “Explain to us…”?
Lord, give me the heart of a disciple, seeking understanding, bearing fruit.
