Re:Verse passage – Luke 8:1-15 (day five)
“The sower went out to sow his seed;”
It seems like a “no-brainer” to say or think that a sower is gonna sow. But there comes a moment or occasion for action and engagement. The interesting thing to me, is that the sower knows exactly who he/she is and understands that their identity is tied to their activity. A decision or determination was made to “sow”, because that’s who they are.
I wonder how well believers understand their/our identity as believers- who we are and how that correlates in to our attitudes and actions. Let’s mention a few: We are worshippers. We are witnesses. We are followers. We are disciples (learners). We are servants. We are members (family/body). So, if identity correlates to activity, what should we be doing because of who we are? Learning? Witnessing? Worshipping? Etc.
If there is a disconnect, is it in the understanding of identity, or the absence of activity? Lord, show us/remind us, who we are and help us live that out faithfully!!
