Luke 8: 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.
This hits close to home. The first kind of people are tempted by the devil. The second have a faith that does not survive trials. But how many more of us are the seeds among thorns?
We are choked by not only worries but by riches and pleasure! So many distractions from the path of faith!
Prayer: Lord, grant me a maturing faith. Help me to grow in my quest to be more like your Son, who told this parable. Guide my focus on the things that matter; do not let me become distracted by the worries or pleasures of my daily life.
Amen
