What is your favorite bible verse? What does it mean to you?

Thank you. Your verse is Phil 4:13, a wonderful reminder that we are never alone in our endeavors.

This post was not a call to any particular group. I am happy that you responded. Thank you. The closest reference that I could find that mentioned concrete (bricks)was the story of the Tower of Babel. Nothing about "sowing" seemed to fit. This is when the world had one language and men decided they would take bricks and build a city with a tower that reached to the heavens. When the Lord saw this He knew that man would be as smart as He. Rather than let this happen, He confused their languages so they could not understand each other and scattered them over all the earth. Work on the city stopped. The tower became known as Babel. This explains the many languages of the world. Please let me know if this is the story you are talking about. You have aroused my curiousity now.

Thanks to BULAFJ, I found the parable of the sower. It is a wonderful analogy. Mt 13:3 - 13:9 (Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.”) Jesus goes on to explain what the parable means in Mt 13:19 - 13:23 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

That's the one! Thanks for that. It always appealed to me.

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Great reminder that we are not alone and we have a great source for strength, wisdom and courage. Things I pray for constantly. Thanks.
