Thought for Tuesday August 1

The Lord is kind and merciful.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he put our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
The Lord is kind and merciful.

 

Matthew 13: 36 – 43  Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house.  His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

Could they really not figure it out or were they just too lazy to work at it?  Do I sometimes “not understand” just to avoid responsibility?

Action:   Act on what you do understand, pray about what you do not understand.
