"I can't be fruitful."
the teaching from the parable of the sower holds important truths that apply to our lives. We need to understand that God's intention is for us to be fruitful, as revealed in Genesis 1:28. Fruitfulness, in this context, involves becoming more Christlike, demonstrating the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, etc. - Galatians 5:22), making disciples, and experiencing prosperity in our lives.
Finding Hope by Looking Up
In times of hardship and the need for assistance, we often find ourselves fixated on our current circumstances. Our gaze remains downward, trapped in a cycle of despair and anxiety. We may even turn inward, scrutinizing every aspect of our being, feeling trapped and hopeless. Alternatively, we may seek solace in others, recognizing the importance of companionship and support during challenging times. While human connections are valuable, there are moments when we face obstacles that surpass human intervention. It is during these moments that the Bible encourages us to shift our focus upward, towards the Lord, for it is from Him that true help comes.
