Today's gospel 
Mathew 13 v18 to 23

In this reading Jesus explains to his disciples the meaning of the sower parable.
The first soil is hard and from the start totally fails to produce good fruit or in another context fails to recieve the Word of God.

The second is like a heart that is afraid and loses it's joy over the immediate suffering it encounters.

So, my question is, how do we become good souls?
By understanding, embracing and retaining the WORD.

Let us pray.

Father God, help us to see and understand the bigger picture to become good soil.
Help us to regularly read Your Word, to hear it being taught, to spend time in worship through songs and prayer,  we pray.

Amen
