“Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19
I’m reading through the Gospels this week, and the parable of the sower has popped up a couple times, and I guess I have never really sat down to think about all the different areas where the seed landed. I mean, I’ve read this and know what the parable is about, but I don’t think I’ve ever ‘really’ read these verses and stopped to think about them.
It’s so easy to let the worries of life overwhelm us, so my prayer over these next couple of weeks is for wisdom to see these “worries” for what they are and that God will help me pull out those things in my life that have been causing me to not produce the fruits that I should.
