Matthew
13:22
"As for what
was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the
world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful."
ESV
When unbelievers
hear the Gospel, the evil one stands ready to keep it from taking root and
becoming productive. This happens to Christians more often than we think. We
know the Word, but when a serious problem comes our way, we focus on the problem
and choke out the Word that brings us faith and courage. Worrying and fretting
only chokes the precious Word of God in us and allows us to be fearful and
overwhelmed. If we do as the Bible tells us and we hide the Word in our hearts,
we will not be overtaken by our problems.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us allowing our problems to choke out the Word in our hearts. Help us to
hide Your Word in our hearts where we will be ready for trying times and will
not choke on worry and fear. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
