Read them daily, for they are your spiritual nourishment. Just as the body needs physical food to grow strong and stay healthy, your soul craves the wisdom, truth, and guidance that come from God’s Word. Scripture is not meant to be read occasionally or merely admired—it is to be taken in regularly, feeding your spirit with life, clarity, and strength.
Each verse offers insight, each promise revives hope, and each command draws you closer to the heart of the Divine. When you make reading God’s Word a daily habit, you’ll find your perspective shifting, your faith deepening, and your path made clearer—even in times of confusion.
Let the Word dwell richly in you, for in it is the nourishment that sustains eternal life.
“A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard,
‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any.Cut it down!Why should it use up the soil?’
‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.If it bears fruit next year, fine!If not, then cut it down!’”
Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.He said:
“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea,
‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
For some time he refused.But finally he said to himself,
‘Even thought I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’
And the Lord said,
‘Listen to what the unjust judge says.And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night?Will He keep putting them off?I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly.However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?’”
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil.It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
Jesus told many things in parables. His disciples asked Him, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
Jesus replied,
“Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.This is why I speak to them in parables:
‘Though seeing, they do not see;
Though hearing,
They do not hear or understand.
In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
You will be ever hearing
but never perceiving;
For this people’s hearts have become calloused;
They hardly hear with their ears,
And they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise, they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts and turn,
And I would heal them.’
But blessed are your eyes
Because they see,
And your ears because they hear.
For truly I tell you,
Many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see
When God stepped into time and clothed Himself in flesh, He took the name Jesus and chose to walk among us—not as a king in a palace, but as a humble man. In a world where people chase prestige, wealth, and titles, Jesus deliberately chose the lowly path. If given the freedom today, many would pursue the most glamorous careers, the highest salaries, and the loudest applause. But the Creator of the universe, the One who spoke galaxies into being, came down and took up the trade of a carpenter.
He didn’t enroll in the great universities of men. He didn’t sit under the tutelage of the so-called wise. And yet, His words confounded the scholars. The Pharisees, proud in their learning, questioned, “How does this man know so much, having never studied?” (John 7:15). They could not comprehend that the One who authored wisdom itself stood before them.
Jesus, fully God and fully man, experienced every stage of human life—from infancy to adulthood. He learned to speak, to work, to weep, and to rejoice. No one can say, “God doesn’t understand me.” He lived it. He felt it. He walked it. And in doing so, He shattered every excuse.
He humbled Himself—not because He had to, but because He chose to. And in that humility, He spoke the language of all people, not just with words, but with compassion, with truth, and with stories that pierced the heart.
Now, about parables:
A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. It’s like an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus often used parables to teach deep truths in a way that was relatable and memorable. He spoke of seeds, sheep, coins, vineyards, and weddings—everyday things that carried eternal significance
Jesus was the master of parables. In fact, the Gospels tell us that “He did not speak to them without a parable” (Matthew 13:34–35). He used them to reveal truth to those who were open-hearted, and to conceal it from those who were hardened. Parables invited listeners to lean in, to reflect, and to discover the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
