The spiritual work of prayer often reveals the selfish nature of us all. Our prayers center on us. Only when we learn to pray for others do we truly see God open the door to His presence and blessings.
(Matthew 13:24-30) Although many of the parables stand independently, some of them are dependent upon one another. Today’s parable continues along the theme of the sower and the seed. As we are introduced to counterfeit fruit, Christ encourages believers to leave God’s work to Him and continue in our work. (08107240503)
