One of Matthew’s main themes is to show Jesus as our Lord and Savior. In these two chapters
we find plenty of things for Jesus to save people from. But what strikes me is that Jesus calls
believers to be sowers of good seed regardless of rampant evil in the world. The farmer in
chapter 13 scatters seed everywhere. He doesn’t make a distinction about where he’s
throwing seed, he only gives a description.
As you meditate on today’s reading ask yourself where you are scattering seed. Do you
believe that Jesus really is the Lord and Savior every person in the world needs?
I believe God is calling us to do what Jesus did; to be an agent of healing and relief for anyone
caught in sin and the destruction caused by sin. Today may you see and may others see that
God is the Lord and Savior of your life.

I find myself scattering a lot of seed and checking that off the list to make me feel better, but it needs to be more thoughtful and personal that that and I think that's why God asks us to pay attn to detail in these passages.
