Scripture: Luke 8:14
"The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature."

Observation: Jesus illustrates through this parable the importance of faith and how it outweighs any other attempt of doing good works.

Application: T.I. came out with a new song in which the lyrics go, "unhappy with the riches cuz your piss-poor morally." This is just a small example that nothing on this earth comes close to that of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Lord please grant me the wisdom to make you my focus and priority and shift my attention away from simple worldly pleasures. I don't deserve credit for anything except continually turning my back on you and thinking that somehow I can make it on my own. Lord thank you for choosing me and never giving up on my life.
