"And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience."
-Luke 8:14-15
Father, thank you for your Word. It is alive and thriving in this place. Thank you for the examples you leave for us in the pages of the Bible. I love finding the meaning in them that speaks to my heart and convicts me to humbly come before you. I pray that my life would be like a plant that is firmly rooted in good soil! That I would hear the word, hold fast to it, and with patience, bear fruit of the spirit. Fruit that glorifies you and points others to Jesus Christ! May I not be so worried with the details of everyday life that I miss opportunities to serve others and show love to them. Father, send me little whisperings and reminders to let me know when my focus is in the wrong place! Thank you for the gifts and wonderful blessings I have in this world. Ones that keep me comfortable; may I never take those for granted! You are truly amazing and I love walking in your presence. Stay near to me.
In Christ's love, Amen.
