Readings Mark 4-5

Today's readings were applicable. Sower with seeds thorns, rocks, and soil. Yea, that parable. What I got from it was all we can really do is spread God's word. The grounds are predetermined to be rocks, thorns, and soil. Let us do our end to show God glory and let Him do His end to paint His own glory. And that's that. We can't control what type of ground we sow seeds on because we honestly won't know. All we can do is know REALLY well what brand our seeds are and leave the rest. It's the act of sowing that is needed of us. God does the reaping.

Another thing was Jesus telling the howling wind to settle down and stfu, with faith of course. I've realized that it's applicable to humans. If we can all have a little faith in each other and realize that people aren't all douche bags then they will do what we ask granted we do so in faith. Very simple, in business no one wants to buy something for $1 if they can get it for 75c. But if we have faith in the other end and ask them to spend a little more money because we need it on our end, something really can be worked out. Makes no sense in numbers, but funny thing is, when you ask in faith it really does happen. Bible > business school on that account.

So let us be less scared of each other and the unknown. Have a little faith. Dare to ask the taboo things, dare to ask the stupid questions, dare to ask for forgiveness. Because when you do it in faith chances are the sincerity will result in what you wanted to begin with.
