PARABLE:  
I bought a big bag of 'Super Nutritious Huge Name' 
brand catfood pellets a month ago... 
and the cats *Loved* it... 
At first. 
Now I put the healthy food to the back of the bowl 
hoping they'll get hungry enough to eat it when the
Blah Brand "cat junk food" I put in front is .

This AM the 2 were hollerin' "I'm hungry!" meows-- 
BUT dish had plenty of 'Super Nutritious Huge Name' food.

Jesus's parable of the Sower: 
Some people "hear the Word, immediately receive it with GLAD-ness", but won't let it take root: 
Thy "endure only for a time." (Mark 4) ...

What does LORD God say ?? 
John 16, Jesus describing Himself as the BREAD that saves our Life:
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
 
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. 
He who comes to Me shall never hunger
and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.  
36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.  
37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, 
and the one who comes to Me I will by NO means cast out."
SO WHAT ??
Be honest: How often do you read books in the "Old Testament"... BESIDES Psalms
and Proverbs? .... God gave us 2/3rds of HIS words of warning & ENCOURAGEMENT,
of EXAMPLES of His faithfulness in His Book before the stories of Jesus are told...
Yet most of us read only the familiar and "happy" scriptures we like....
Never even sampling God's glorious buffet of Words throughout His Bible...
Even like Leviticus 19, full of words about how LOVING God is in the Laws He gave!

Prayer: 
LORD, help us not be foolish as cats rejecting the Super Nutrition you,
the Bread of Life provided.
Lest "when tribulation or persecution arises", immediately we stumble. (Mark 4: 17).
