Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Over the past several Sundays we have studied Mark 4. In the parable the sower starts his day with a single, very intentional focus. The sower goes out to sow! I can visualize the sower tying an apron around his waist and filling the pouches until they could not hold another seed! ( a morning with God in prayer and reading the word). At first light he heads out and at the first opportunity he plunges his hand deep into the bulging pockets of his apron only to discover that his hands will no longer grasp the seed! For the first time in his life he is not able to do what he is called to do. Try as he may he can only gasp one or two seeds at a time.
The sower begins to think of all the places where he was waiting to sow until his sowing technique was better, or waiting on the climate to be perfect and rain eminent. Now he could only regret not going while he was able.
If this were the last day that you were able to share the good news of Jesus where would you go? Would you save anything back or would you sow every last seed given to you. “and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and1 how shall they hear without a preacher (sower)?”
