Do You Live Among Thorns?

Do You Live Among Thorns?


Matthew 13:22 “Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.”

Note the wording, “he becomes unfruitful.”

I wonder how many of us had vision from the Lord when we were younger, but now it is just a vague dream from a distant past.

Where are you now? 

Not how many stories do you have from the past, but how about now? 

Where are you? 

Are you overcome from the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches?

Are you still hot for the Lord? Are you still passionate about His Kingdom? 

Or are you passionate about things—like the deceitfulness of riches? 

Or how about promotions, entertainment, vacations, and weekends? Is this what you are living for?

Don’t let vision die. 

Don’t stop short of your call. 

Don’t live for this life alone. 

It will pass. 

You will pass.

Eternity—His Kingdom—is forever.
