Will Smith played Detective Del Spooner in the 2004 film I Robot. A hologram chooses Del to investigate the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning, who saved Spooner’s life years earlier after a car accident nearly ended his own life. Trapped by his work at United States Robotics to roll out a new line of S5’s, Dr. Lanning turns to Hansel and Gretel to leave a trail of breadcrumbs behind after his death.
The farmer sows the word, Mark 4:14.
Oddly enough, Jesus uses a curious expression in one of his well known parables. Often overlooked, Jesus compares the sowing process to a farming planting his annual harvest. However, there is a twist, your actions leave behind an imprint. Thus, individuals are either leaving a trail of breadcrumbs behind that reflect biblical principles or worldly desires.
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap, Galatians 6:7.
If someone was designated to shadow you, following your attitude, behavior and words of the last 24 hours, week or month, what clues would this person uncover? Are you living a consistent life, clear and easy to recognize? Or would certain inconsistencies confuse, throw off and make discerning souls question the existence of this life? The four words of Mark 4:14 struck my heart with conviction, causing me to re-evaluate my own witness. May Jesus’ teaching inspire you to become a modern day farmer who sows the word of God, prepared to become a fisher of men, women and children.
