Jesus's "Honey Do"

Luke 8:6-8
"6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

This week our focus is on SEED planting as we begin a new sermon series titled; God's Garden. We are living in GOD'S Garden. For us it's the New Year and we are making "Resolutions" to do better. Most of the year we make "To Do" list for ourselves. Or, we make "To Do" list for others and even call them "Honey Dos!" And, a lot of the time we achieve the items on these lists. When this occurs it reminds us just how sweet, nutritious and delicious Honeydew Melons are! Our featured fruit from God's Garden this week.

We have turned to the Gospel of Luke,  chapter eight, beginning with verse four, when a crowd gathered around and Jesus tells the PARABLE of the sower. Some seed has been stepped on. Some is eaten by birds. Some could not grow on rocks. Some were chocked out by thorns and weeds. And, in today's verse "And other fell on GOOD GROUND, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He CRIED, He that hath ears to hear, LET HIM HEAR."

Please note; Jesus's "Honey Do" for everyone who has ears; "LET HIM HEAR." Jesus's expectation is that we will all be GOOD GROUND for the seeds that He is planting! This is the man going to the cross. He is dying for our sins. Naturally He trusts that we will be "GOOD GROUND, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold!!!" Jesus has placed His trust in you and me!!!

The good parts of these daily devotionals are inspired by the sermon at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg Texas. You can watch it by following this link... https://youtu.be/GuKAH3A58tE

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
