If farmers want to plant some seeds, they must prepare a field.
When they do this properly, their land will bring high yield.
They must root out stumps and stones and loosen up the ground.
When the soil is nicely tilled their plantings will abound.
The Lord would like to till our "ground" and plant in us good seeds,
Removing all our "roots and stones", and maybe even weeds.
He will sow His seeds in us so we may bring forth fruit.
If we've let Him till our "soil", our plants will have strong root.
We have opportunity much fruit to richly grow.
As we become good soil for Him, His blessings we will know.
Dormant soil placed in God's hand will soon become of worth.
Yielded to His "tilling", to much seed it will give birth.
"The seed is the word of God... But that (seed) on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience."
Luke 8:11, 15 KJV
