May 27, 2007 - Chaff

May 27, 2007

Jesus once said that if you did not understand the parable of the sower and the seeds, you would not understand much He was trying to teach. The whole Bible is like that I find. Even more so in today's verse.

Psa 1:4 KJV
(4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Yesterday, the Godly were like living water making whatever they did prosper. Today we find the ungodly are not like that. They are like chaff. What is chaff? Webster's on line dictionary says:

1 : the seed coverings and other debris separated from the seed in threshing grain
2 : something comparatively worthless

One would take the seed and throw it up in the air and the seed would fall and the chaff blow away. What was it good for? Nothing. It was not even worth burning. And it would get into your clothing and scratch up your skin.

I do not want to be worthless. I guess I need to stay in the Word.
