FAITH CAPSULE: The parable of Jesus is with the evidence to walk with Him. 

Matthew 13

Live life for God, follow Him, walk with Him.
Walk with God to please Him and be counted for His reward.
IN WALKING WITH GOD, BE AWAKE SPIRITUALLY 
Are you awake spiritually, living life by the word of God?
The wicked world demands to be awake seeking God diligently and not be asleep spiritually. 
One that is not walking or not living for God is sleeping before God spiritually.
The parable of Jesus is an everyday truth with a spiritual application.
His parable is an earthly truth with a heavenly meaning.
Matthew 13:25-30 records the parable of sleeping in the place of sleeping, “…but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn.” 
The above parable of Jesus reveals that sleeping will displace walking with God for the wicked to gain entrance in the life of one sleeping.
One sleeping before God, not walking with God, shall be far from God that is not far from all.
Sleeping before God cannot possibly follow God, walking with God, living life for God.
One that is walking with God shall come out of wickedness.
One that is not walking with God shall walk in line with the evil activities of the wicked world.
God shall judge the wicked world at His appointed time. 
Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 warned, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.” 
Walk with God to follow God continually, do not be counted with the wicked world at the judgment time of God.
Like a seed, sow self in God seek God diligently in your walk.
Walk with God, stand with God to please God, and be rewarded by God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you be rooted in the word, walking by following Him all the days of life He has given you.
