Good Dirt | Oct. 1st

"And other seed fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.

But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

Mark 4:8, 20

Beloved, the desire to produce fruit glorifying unto the Lord can only be accomplished by the Holy Spirit. As we have considered the soil conditions over the past few days, we must ask ourselves, what is the condition of my heart?

No one has good soil except if you are in Christ. Our hearts are hard, full of weeds, and easy prey to the enemy. Christ has turned our hearts of stone into flesh again. Our hope in Christ is that He will create good soil within us. He will give constant care by weeding and breaking up the following ground.

The Lord will bring depth to our souls. He enables us to resist the fowl of the air which desires to destroy the seed. The Holy Spirit will convict, refresh, and produce fruit that will be glory to the Father. May we yield to the Lord today and bring forth His fruit.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
