What a wonderful Friday! The Lord is good and His faithfulness continues forever. He answers prayers, and is here to fix and restore that which has been destroyed.

1 Peter 1:23 says:

You have been born again not from some seed that will decay, but from one that cannot decay, through the living Word of God that lasts forever.

Let's ponder the seed for a moment. In a seed, there is a future, a potential, a plan, and the things needed to start the plan successfully. However, as Jesus says in Matthew 21, some seed falls on the road, some in thorns, and some in good soil (which produces bountifully).

As believers in Jesus, we have the potential for great things. We each can be as amazing as Samuel, King David, Elisha, Elijah, Paul, Peter, and John and all the apostles, but only if the thorns of life don't choke out our growth. As long as our hearts are seeking God, the soil of our lives will produce much.

May our hearts be receptive of the Word and of the seeds planted by God. May we not be choked up by life problems. May we overcome in order to reach our full potential.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

-A brother in Jesus
