Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-25

Mark 4:8 (NKJV) 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

In order to accomplish a “good, grounded heart”, that heart must be teachable; a heart that wants to learn and go deeper. A heart that can receive and accept the truth, and which allows that truth to penetrate and do its work deep within us.

Jesus explains that those seeds that fell on good ground represent those who hear the word of God and accept it! They are the ones who bear fruit from the changed heart and understanding that comes through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 4:20 (NKJV) 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

When we accept the truth, we will want to repent for our old ways as we learn that they are not the right way. We will willingly want to turn from them.

We may not always know how right away. But the willingness to try and start to get it right is there.

It is in us. We have accepted to change and follow God. As we allow the changes to come, our ways will become more like God’s ways, and we will bear His fruit!

Be that good grounded heart. Let His words penetrate us.

Amen.
