But if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned
Hebrews 6.8
After talking about people who have turned away from God, giving in to the devil's lie and no longer being able to return (Hebrews 6.4-6), the Holy Spirit implies that the land mentioned in verse 7 refers to the heart of the faithful Christian. The latter, when he drinks the water of the rains that fall on him (receives the revelation of the Holy Spirit through the Word) and produces fruitful grass for those who cultivate it, obtains the blessing of Heaven. When you learn to act according to the Scriptures, God will bless you.
The earth was created by the Lord, but some people prevent the seed from germinating as the Father intended and put themselves in a difficult position before Him. We can't let bad fruit make us uncomfortable before God. He teaches us to give the necessary treatment to the soil, making it fertile. Then, through good planting, the blessings of heaven will come. Live with faith and love for Christ, and your harvest will be very good.
What kind of soil have you become: the one that benefits from the rain and produces what God expects, or the one that absorbs the water but fails to bear fruit? The unfruitful land is certainly under a curse, for it has failed to fulfill its condition. This angers the Lord, since He had already given it all the conditions to be good and capable of feeding humanity. Be vigilant and pray!
If this happens to you, causing you to think only of yourself, without caring about the Lord's direction for your life, your days are certainly bitter and difficult. Now, if you've been asking God for the change you need, it's time to show Him that your desire is not only to receive blessings, but also to be a blessing to those around you. Believe that the Father hears your cry and cultivate the good harvest!
Pick up the seed that has fallen by the side of the road and place it in the soil prepared by God. If you leave it too late, the birds of the air will eat it and its fruit will never be seen. The seed by the side of the road needs to be picked up and loved, and placed as a priority in your life. By doing so, your reward will be great. God's plan for you must never be wasted!
If your soil is full of stones - hatred, impure thoughts and lack of love - pray for these obstacles to be removed. Begin to remove everything that is unworthy, with the help of the Most High. Soon it will be time for the new sowing, and then, if the land is plowed, the seed will fall into it and bear fruit. However, if you are lax and despise the good and what the Creator has decided to produce through you, seek change now!
Land filled with thorns is useless, as it harms those who walk on it. Start putting out every bad thing inside you, asking God to purify your heart; otherwise, the curses will come, and you will suffer a lot now and a lot more in eternity. Change!
In Christ, with love,

Today's Prayer
God, the good Sower! If they don't fall on good soil, the seeds sown by You on humanity - created to bear wonderful fruit and desired by all - will be lost. Your seeds are welcome, but we need to change our inner selves to germinate them!
Help us to pick up what falls by the side of the Way and take it to the right place. You have prepared us well to be good farmers. The seed that falls into hearts full of stones cannot bear good fruit. We need to remove stones, thorns and thistles!
We want to see Your good seed planted in our hearts and joyfully witness a large yield, because we have a commitment to You. You are the Creator and Sustainer of our lives. Thank You for your admonition! We want to be Your good soil!
