Weeds Of Life Choking You?

The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.Matthew 13:22

Weeds can be pretty nasty things. You grow a garden only to skip a couple days tending to it and weeds have popped up. I noticed an unused highway recently where weeds were popping through the hard pavement. Got me to thinking about weeds choking out good things in our lives.

The verse above is from Jesus parable about sowing seed meaning the word of God but the ‘soil’ meaning your heart, has to be prepared to accept it and understand it. Often if a person has not received the Holy Spirit the word may mean little or nothing to them other than a religious duty.

Is your heart filled with love,joy, kindness, goodness and able to receive God’s word and thus ‘grow’ in Him from this word implanted in you? Think that over. What do you have to do if it is not?

PRAYER: I love the word and I pray for others I know who have no desire for godly counsel or study of the Bible. The enemy does a good job lying and tricking ‘churchgoers’ into thinking they are fine the way they are, so I pray the eyes of those be opened and they see the glorious light! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
