A few years ago, we had a vine of small squash growing in our church parking lot. I noticed it on a prayer walk one day: small yellow squash growing on a green vine that covered an entire “island” in the lot. We realized this plant had probably come to grow here because a child from our summer camp disposed of seeds from a project in the rocks of the parking lot island.
My mind immediately went to the familiar parable in Mark 4:1–20, where a farmer is scattering seed. Some seed falls on the path, where the birds eat it. Some seed falls on rocks and springs up, but because it is without roots the growth withers away. Some seed falls in thorns and is choked out. Finally, some seed falls on good soil, and it produces a crop that multiplies.
Each week, we hopefully and expectantly sow the Word in the lives of the children God entrusts to us. We pray they would be like the good soil, and that they would respond to God’s Word in obedience because they know they are known, led, and loved. So we stay faithful to sowing the seed, hopeful that they will obey it and one day we will see the fruit that grows in their lives and spills into the lives of others.
