"And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."
Mark 4:18-19
A good reminder for today that it is very easy to let the cares of the world distract us from the things that truly matter... the word of God, and his gospel of hope and love. Today, let's avoid the choking distractions that can drive us away from God, and let's focus on the important things... learning about and loving God, and with his help, loving not just those close to us, but *everyone* else. Doing God's will is sometimes difficult, but overall the burden is lighter than the cares of the world, because God is there to help us and carry it with us. Let's trust him and turn to him rather than the world.
