"And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.” Matthew 13:3-9 (ESV)
1. READ THE BIBLE! Nothing is more important than this! God's Word is the daily bread that our soul needs (Matt 4:4), living and active for convicting us of sin (Heb 4:12), and profitable for training us in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). Wake up, and get your eyes on Jesus through His Word!
2. PRAY! Prayer is the soul speaking to God. It's our way to lift our heart to Him, remember His power, and seek His help for our needs. Nothing is a better barometer of your intimacy with Jesus than your prayer life. Set aside a few minutes, lift your heart, and pray. Not sure where to start? Use the Lords Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13.
3. WORSHIP! I have found great benefit in using worship music to help my heart give it's attention back to Jesus. In a distracting world, listening, thinking, and singing strong biblical lyrics is a great way to abide with Jesus. Here's a great playlist of some Songs to Abide to help you here.
