"The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit." Matthew 13:22
"As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit." Luke 8:14
Do you hear the word of God? What about applying it to your daily life? Or living it all day every day? What distractions do you currently have that is choking out the word of God? What distracted Jesus? Absolutely nothing! And remember He was pure man no different than you or I. "The devil said to him, "I shall give to you all this power and their glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. "All this will be yours, if you worship me."" Jesus said to him in reply, "It is written: 'You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.'"" Luke 4:6-8. A little self examination is a good thing in our lives. I know in my own walk, there are thorns. Jesus has singular purpose, what about I, do I have singular purpose in life that will produce fruit for the harvest?
Dear Lord, in my walk, I ask that the thorns be removed, I ask that the things that are choking out Your Word in my life be removed. I ask that I recognize the trickery of the devil as You did and have singular purpose in all that I do. You are the Gardener, I am the garden, prune me. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
