Mark 4:14-15. The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts,
There is always a bird where there is a seed lying on the road, and there is always a devil where there is a sermon heard, but not received into the heart. "Satan cometh immediately." He is very prompt; we may delay, but the devil never does: "When they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts."
