scripture highlights

Jeremiah 4:3b "Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among the thorns"
what does this mean in regards to the parable of the sower? anything? nothing?
-
1 Samuel 8:3 "Yet his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice."
this is similar to what happened to Eli and his sons. the fathers were close to the Lord, but their sons turned from him. it makes you realize how little our upbringing has to do with our faith, for surely the Lord chooses whom He will, but to serve and to turn aside.
