Okay, so I have read the parable of the sower so many times. I have heard many variations and I have kind of understood but reading the whole story myself...a light bulb finally went off!
Jesus sits among large crowds and tells this parable: A farmer scattered seed, some fell along the path and the birds ate it. Some fell on rocky places and it sprang up quickly because it didn't have much soil. When the sun came the plants were scorched because they did not have roots. Some seeds fell among thorns which grew but chocked the other plants. Other seed fell among good soil where it produced a crop.
God wants us to be that good soil. He wants us to have such faith and belief in his word that no matter what comes against us we stay strong because we have roots to ground us. Some people will be the other seeds and completely fall apart when things come against them, we need to have our moments of panic, but then we need to look at who can turn those moments of panic into praise. The bible is our root to keep us grounded and focused on what really matters.
Matthew 13: 1-9
