Scripture Meditation No. 1613
AATHAVAN | Tuesday, 08 July 2025
“For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”— Hebrews 6:7–8 (KJV)
Today’s meditation verse compares the human heart to soil. Just as rain waters the land and prepares it to bring forth crops, so too must our hearts be made ready to receive the Word of God and yield spiritual fruit.
However, not all land brings forth useful crops. Some soil remains barren or produces only thorns and wild bushes. Likewise, not every heart that receives the Word bears fruit. As today’s verse declares, “the earth which drinketh in the rain... bringeth forth herbs... receiveth blessing from God,” but the land that brings forth only “thorns and briers is rejected and is nigh unto cursing.”
This means that God’s Word must produce fruit in us. Only then does it result in God’s blessing. There is no benefit in merely running from one preacher to another, taking down sermon notes and filling our notebooks. What matters is that these truths be written in our hearts and transformed into our lifestyle. If the Word of God truly enters our hearts, it cannot return void.
“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:10–11 (KJV)
It’s not about hearing God’s Word casually or superficially. We must allow the Word to take root and transform our hearts. If we keep hearing sermon after sermon without true repentance, our hearts may become like soil that produces thorns—not suitable for blessing, but for rejection. That kind of life cannot inherit God’s blessing.
As the verse says, “that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected… whose end is to be burned.” This is a solemn warning.
Today’s meditation also speaks of “herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed”—meaning Christ is the One who cultivates our hearts. When Jesus explained the Parable of the Sower, He said the seed is the Word (Mark 4:3–8). Some seeds fell by the wayside, some on stony ground, and others among thorns—none of these bore lasting fruit. Only the seed that fell on good ground brought forth thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.
Likewise, we are called to yield the kind of harvest pleasing to Him.
Dear beloved, simply attending spiritual meetings and praising speakers—saying, “That preacher spoke well!”—will not benefit us unless the Word of God bears fruit in our lives. The Word we hear must sink into our hearts and bring forth a harvest of thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.
When we approach God’s Word with that attitude, He will surely bless us—just as today’s meditation verse promises.
