Sow Us Lord!

This morning I was praying for direction and reading through the scriptures and at the end of my time I typed the following prayer:

Come Lord, sow us and direct us....  I meant to write show us, but somehow the "sow us" seems appropriate, for we are trying to be good seed, and we are looking for the Lord's direction as to where we should move. I was instantly reminded of the following verses:

Matthew 13:3-9, 23 NIV:

[3] "Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. [4] As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. [5] Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. [6] But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. [7] Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. [8] Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop---a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. [9] Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

[23] "But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Yes Lord, sow us... we want to be fruitful.
