The Sower and the Wind
Isaiah 55:10-13 and Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 beautifully complement one another. Isaiah compares God’s Word to rain and snow that water the earth and always accomplish God’s purpose.

Matthew 13:18-23…“But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.” vs. 23 We don’t know if Jesus was thinking of himself as he told the parable of the sower, but it is likely that the story reflected his experience in the course of his teaching ministry.
