Is My Workplace a Path, Rocky Place, Thorny Place, or Good Soil?

 

Don’t be discouraged! In the Parable of the Sower (Mark 4:4-8) scripture tells of a farmer scattering seed across different types of soil. Some of it landed on a path, some in rocky places, some in thorns, and still other seed landed in good soil.

It is not for us to determine what kind of a workplace we are in, beit a path, rocky place, thorny place, or good soil. We’re to sow into the lives around us and let God take care of the growth. Remember people have a will and can choose to go through rocky or thorny places with God before they reach a place of becoming good soil. This can and does affect the workplace. But, that’s all between God and that individual.

We, on the other hand, are to be the ones taking advantage of the opportunity to plant a seed (a spiritual seed, manna, something that will cause them to contemplate about the Master). Those opportunities are given to us by divine arrangement anyway. So, move forward!
