S - Matthew 13:24-34
0- Parable of the Weeds is an interesting picture of the Harvest and how God views it and how he views his creation. Quite a picture from beginning to end. Powerful.
Parable of the Mustard seed and the Yeast - small seed grows into the largest tree in the garden; a little yeast spreads through the whole dough... The Word of God is powerful... a double-edged sword. His Kingdom WILL come. It is not a prayer. It is a fact.
It is interesting how Jesus used parables to "utter things hidden since the creation of the world." Things hidden since the creation of the world. Wow.
A & P- Lord, the little seeds that have been planted for your kingdom - grow them God. The little bit of yeast, spread through the whole dough. KEEP THE ENEMY OUT AND ALL THE WEEDS THAT HE PLANTS. Shield my children from those things that will keep them from a real relationship with you. I pray the weeds OUT of their lives, Lord, and I pray your seed, your tree, would flourish in each of them. I pray they would affect the kingdom for you, God. Each of them.
Let your kingdom come, Lord. I pray that your kingdom would spread in our home, our family, to our community, through Cascade, to my nieces and nephews, to my neighbordhood. Open doors to minister. Help me to lean on the Holy Spirit and be aware of your presence and leading IN ALL THINGS. Keep a guard on my tongue. Give me self-control and spirit-control, Lord.
YOU ARE GOOD. Bless this day, I pray, for your glory, not mine. Amen.
