S – Mark 4:18-19 “The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.”

O – Things that prohibit fruit production: “worries of this life, lure of wealth, and the desire for other things.”  As our reading in Psalms revealed: “It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich” (Ps. 37:16).

A – I must weed out the thorns that choke out fruit production.  Today, I want to be sensitive to my “desire for other things” and repent.

P – Lord, supernaturally pull the desire for other things out of my life through the Holy Spirit.

How are the “worries of this life, lure of wealth, and the desire for other things” keeping you from producing fruit?
