30-60-or 100%

Some people read the Bible, or a devotional, and get:

• 30% out of it because they soon discard it when somebody says "it's not true--don't believe that stuff!"  Or they simply "skim over it" because they're in such a hurry to do something else.
• 60% out of it because they like what it says, but forget about it quickly--don't apply it to their lives.
• 100% because they believe it, understand it, have faith in it, and incorporate it into their daily living.

The Word of God is like a "seed," which has to be "sown" into the soil of our hearts.  If our hearts are hardened, the seed cannot be sown or take root.  If our lives are so encumbered with things, other priorities, or people--the Word (seed) is choked out.

What kind of return are you getting out of your investment in God's Word?
