Cultivating a Heart That Hears God’s Word

In the Parable of the Sower Jesus describes the “wayside” soil as those who hear His word but don’t seek to understand or apply it. Many attend church out of habit, never study their Bibles deeply, or ask questions when they do. They hear the message and move on, yet their lives bear no spiritual fruit. If you recognise this pattern in your own life, ask God for a new heart that truly yearns for His presence. Commit to daily Bible study—use devotional guides or a one-year reading plan. At first you may struggle, but as you stay consistent and invite the Holy Spirit to guide you, Scripture will come alive. Your heart will soon soak in God’s truth, producing lasting peace and favour. Prioritise understanding God’s word each day, and you will experience a bountiful harvest of His goodness.
