Stay Grounded in God's Word

God's Word to Israel in Deuteronomy 8:11-13, 18,19 runs parallel to Jesus' parable in Matthew 13:7,8,22,23. In both situations, God wants His children to serve Him and not to be deceived by the riches of this world. When we are grounded in God's Word, we are fruitful in serving Him as opposed to being unfruitful and serving other gods.
