Normally, when I think of the Parable of the Sower, I think of Matthew 13. Today's devotional draws upon the Luke 8 version... https://odb.org/2019/07/12/son-followers
"I came up with a new definition of faith: paranoia in reverse. A truly
paranoid person organizes his or her life around a common perspective of
fear. Anything that happens feeds that fear. Faith works in reverse. A
faithful person organizes his or her life around a common perspective of
trust, not fear." (Daily Bread, 11 July 2014)
