Thought for Tuesday July 30

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.”

Were the disciples were being intentionally obstinate, were they too lazy to figure it out or were they really that dumb?  Do I ever pretend to not understand something I don't want to deal with?

Action:   Try a little harder to understand what Jesus is trying to tell you.
