'Do Not Hurt The Wheat.'
Matthew 13:27-30.
a) Matthew 13:27. The farmer's men came to him with a bad report.
b) Matthew 13:27. The wheat harvest, where choice seed was planted, was also full of thistles.
c) Matthew 13:28. This harm was done by an enemy of the farmer.
d) Matthew 13:28. The farmer's men wanted to pull out the thistles.

(Through this QT I discover the Wisdom and Patience of the Lord)

When the farmer's men came to him with a bad report he did not panic. The farmer had Wisdom to deal with the difficult situation. He was not seeking revenge on the enemy, he just wanted to deal with the situation wisely and well. When we face difficult situations caused by other people, rather than just taking revenge, we need to resolve those situations wisely and well.
