Rocky Soil

Rocky soil! That is a description of my back yard, and most of the dirt located in the Ozarks. Big rocks buried under a few inches of dirt pretty much keeps anything from growing. Plant a little grass seed, and a few days later the plant will pop up, but it will not last because the roots have nowhere to go. In the Parable of the Soils, Jesus says that a lot of people are like this, they hear the Word, and quickly sprout, but their faith in Jesus is short lived. Our challenge today is that we will hear the Gospel in such a way that we allow God to pop up the rocks that keeps us from experiencing the harvest He has for our lives.
